Just rewatching kona bike leg on trainer this morn…. There were a lot of uvex and met drone helmets out there in both mens and womens races and with the launch of the ridonkulous spesh helmet….. has had anyone tested these helmets ? I know team bmc use uvex i believe, but Is this pure coincidence? The usuals like aerohead wasn’t featured a lot amongst the pros….. both drone and uvex aren’t new by any means but has anyone seen tests on these ? General stats on it? ( yes yea I know it’s individual, I just didn’t notice until rewatching )
I always hear "who is checking anyway" but the Drone isn't cpsc approved for use in the US racing unless you're a pro in most places where you can get an exemption. As, who can tell pros on a sponsorship if even just a free helmet that they can't wear what pays the bills.
Kind of like the Aeroswitch, not cpsc approved either.

The current USAT rule regarding helmets no longer requires a CPSC sticker.
5.2 Bicycle helmets are compulsory and must be approved by a testing authority which is recognized by any national federation that is an affiliate of World Triathlon.
