Looking at buying but hard to buy with no aero ability to aero test and limited testing I can find.

So how much faster is this helmet than an aerohead

Also concerned at overheating. Big difference between a tour TT and wearing a black ventless helmet with a built in snood for 5 hours through the heat of the day in a typical Ironman then I'd worry it would be a bit of an oven.

FWIW, Paula wore this at the T100 Miami (minus the face condom) which was a shorter race but crazy hot/humid. The helmet color should be a non-issue, since the helmet foam provides a huge amount of thermal isolation between the helmet shell and the wearer (think beer cooler). Hopefully as the season progresses we can get more data points.

I’m worried about same, I find visors make me much hotter, suspect this helmet is not good without one. But not all races are done in hot conditions , nor are all races an Ironman. FWIW, India Lee rode the helmet at Miami then got off an ran pretty well!

Paula said on the pod she took her visor off and lobbed it but that was due to low light rather than heat

 
Helmet aerodynamics vary hugely from one person to the next. No-tail and short-tail helmets always worked terribly for me - like 20-30 seconds over 40K. Yet I know one Olympic competitor who did vastly better with one.

Wish I knew the answer to that! I have loved the aerohead for years raced with a Rudy last year for one race with no testing. The Rudy did not pass the look test but bike split was normalish for me. Was going to go back to the aerohead this year till I saw the TT 5. Tempted to just get race with it and get out to Jim and do some testing when I can.

I saw it tested recently. Against a Rudy it did marginally better. On another athlete, against a POC short tail it did significantly better. Of course this is rider dependant.

Any thoughts on sizing here? I’m right between a medium and a large - just under 59cm.

Also, anyone know the weight?
