Specialized S-Works Prevail 3

The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is built for riders who prioritize superior ventilation and comfort in hot conditions, challenging climbs, and mountainous terrain. Redefining what's possible in helmet ventilation, Specialized eliminated air-blocking foam "bridges" from the center, creating thru-air channels that increase ventilating surface area by 24.5% compared to the Prevail II. This makes it the most ventilated helmet Specialized has ever produced.

The groundbreaking AirCage technology represents a fundamental shift in helmet design. Rather than relying solely on foam for energy management, woven aramid cables traverse the helmet and anchor to carbon fiber side panels. Upon impact, this system works like a suspension bridge, designed to distribute localized forces throughout the helmet structure for improved energy management.

The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shapes, with adjustable helmet angle for compatibility with glasses. An adjustable Tri-Fix web system provides added comfort with updated, thinner 10mm webbing that minimizes strap noise during rides.

The ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system with height adjustability has been updated for improved grip and easier on-the-go adjustments. Specialized's ultralight MIPS Node Air technology integrates directly into the helmet padding with a sleek low-friction layer designed to dissipate rotational forces. Proprietary development added perforations to maximize breathability, performance, comfort, and weight savings while maintaining protection.

Key Features:

• AirCage Technology - Woven aramid cables and carbon fiber panels distribute impact forces like a suspension bridge for advanced energy management
• Maximum Ventilation Design - 24.5% more ventilating surface area than predecessor with eliminated foam bridges for superior airflow
• MIPS Node Air Integration - Perforated low-friction layer built into padding dissipates rotational forces while maximizing breathability and weight savings
