interesting a lot of reviews say it causes lot of heat build up because of the wave cell layer.

i guess it is pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?

@Jamari Mauricio Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!!

@Ayaan Landyn You are welcome xD

It's been a week for me. I got used to it too.

Barbara, oooooh, it gets very warm but I'm sure this is a easy tweak on their part. I'm sure they will listen.

It hasn't been a problem for me (the helmet LOOKS like it would be a problem, but it hasn't been ).

thanks! I have another channel just for cycling BTW: kzfaq.info/love/VxlY3fBto21-_sZ5hZNNcw

Good eye! BTW I have another channel called Cycling in Southern California if you like cycling. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/love/VxlY3fBto21-_sZ5hZNNcw

Thanks for watching.

That was my concern. In the lab the crash test head form is not made like our head is and I'm certain that wavecell will shred your scalp.

Rick Harker I read the study. You’re saying the didn’t use dummy heads that were shaped like heads?

@@AdamJStoryDC No! The shape is fine. When I looked at one in the hand the wavecell material is rather stiff. I can imagine if there was an oblique impact it may collapse and flatten which is a primary reduction in impact forces but a direct dead blow the wavecell structure may act like a multi planed scraper on your skin. A laboratory is one thing to provide comparative results which is good but cyclists won't follow the same form out on the road or track.

It does look like a bee hive, doesn't it?

So does the bee bounce off and not get trapped? I'd be afraid of an angry bee getting caught in the WaveCel!

I have no idea. I'll make a video if it happens. @@Molas80

POC's were on my list of ones I'd like to try. Great helmets

Kali does the same, but they do it for ALL their helmets, not just their sponsored pros. This is one of the advantages of a lifetime crash replacement (on the first crash) is they keep and research their returns, and they get a lot of returns because their policy is so generous (haven’t seen a policy like that since Bell in the mid 1990’s or most brands had in the early 90’s). Now most companies offer a discount, but by the time I’ve crashed (if at all) the replacement can be had for less than the discount. (Treks policy is limited to 1 year). They use a tech that is halfway between Wavecel and MIPS. It keeps the opening open, but uses an elastomer that accepts both linear and rotational give, The issue with them is their road line is a little lacking since they are mostly a mountain biking/bmx company.

I guess there kind of is, though not bound by standards or UCI regulations, this comes close www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html

Thanks, will do!

I noticed that too and found that almost all helmets do that to some extent, but the fabric they used was very smooth and combined with sweat, it loosened. I used some tape to solve it, and eventually got a Specialized MIPS helmet (see other video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er-Ya7SUzMu6fqM.html ) and I have noticed less strap "slippage."

Adam J. Story, DC I have not noticed any slipping of any other helmet I’ve had. My other helmets are Giro brand and they have not loosened a bit in the 3 years I’ve had them. I don’t want to “Jimmy-right” a fix for my helmet. I hope it works for you. My newly ordered helmets should be arriving in a week. Hopefully I have better success with them.

@@joshuahelm5660 Return the helmet

Nate Ayers I’ve noticed that once you figure out where to put the glasses, it works. My gut feeling is that when summer hits and it’s 100 degrees, I’ll know more about the ventilation. Not sure if you noticed some riders in Paris-Roubaix had them. Concussions suck

@@AdamJStoryDC oh definitely! My last concussion was from a crash in a crit about 2 years ago. I was going about 26 MPH when there was a big pile-up in front of me. No way to avoid it and I landed on my head hard. I was symptomatic with dizziness, headaches, vertigo, and motion sickness for 17 weeks! I'm not saying that a Wavecel helmet would have prevented it, but it certainly couldn't have made it any worse. I was wearing a Giro Synthe MIPS at the time. Maybe that lessened the severity of the concussion. Who knows? Thanks for the great review!

Nate Ayers IMHO the MIPS is better than the foam, the WaveCel is better than MIPS. In two years they’ll either make it better/lighter/aero or they’ll develop something else. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Hey Nate, glad you're well and sorry about concussion history. For me I've ridden in 85 to 95 degree temps with humidity (Washington, DC) It's not that bad but air doesn't flow as freely as other helmets.

Watch this current one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er-Ya7SUzMu6fqM.html

FYI: I have another channel called "Cycling in Southern California" if you're interested.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching and subscribing!

That’s one promise you can’t keep forever 😂

Agreed Aldo...and that is why I went back to my Giro because it allowed my glasses fit more easily around the helmet.

It's firm. It will probably do less damage than the Ford 250 against my skull.

@@AdamJStoryDC Thanks Adam. My concern is would the material sort of dig into the skin in a crash. Nice video.

@@jamesbruce the first feeling is realy Stiff butt as soon as you push a Little bit more it deflect, Crush , roll ass they show on bontrager publicities

@@jamesbruceand the important thing tout protect is inside the skull!

James...I thought it would be softer but its hardened plastic. Felt uncomfortable when I initially put on my helmet but it's snug and comfortable during my rides. The only other complaint I have is that it makes my large skull look larger! LOL!

Thanks for watching and subscribing.

Don Blake thanks

Great helmet. Still use it.

@@AdamJStoryDC I'll buy it, looks great. Thanks

Thanks for watching and subbing!

I still use it when it's not too hot and/or I want high visibility. If I'm doing cyclocross or it's super hot, or I just want to wear red to match my kit, I'll use my other one. I think the lawsuit is kind of ridiculous. I have both Wavecel and MIPS. I'm hoping I never have to COMPARE.

Best way to clean a helmet is in the shower with shampoo.

I don't think they took aesthetics into consideration. I think all the wavecell is lime green. It would be cool though to have like a red combined with yellow or you could choose the color of the wavecel. We'll see if it happens next year.

@@AdamJStoryDC n

Very nice helmet but is commuter oriented, if you use it on a road specific bike it will look odd and the visor will block your view. I ride a hybrid and I love the Charge helmet.

If you want ventilation and lightness, I'd go with the Specialized MIPS Prevail II or Evade. SUPER light, well ventilated, but $250/275. The Wavecel is heavier, not as ventilated and most importantly, you can't get a finger in the vents to scratch (um...not important until you actually have an itch). It's been 90+ degrees where I am now and it would be nice to have more ventilation, but I'm surviving. Those issues won't occur once the temperature goes down. The Wavecel is a deal IMHO because it was $150 for what's advertised as superior protection. If I'm going to need a helmet, I want to have THIS helmet on, but if ventilation and weight are bigger issues...get the Specialized one.

Adam J. Story, DC thanks for the input . I agree the price of Wavecel is amazing for what it offers . I will check out the specialized ones. I am also considering Bontrager Circuit MIPS Road Helmet / Bontrager Velocis MIPS Road Bike Helmet / Giro Synthe MIPS. Familiar with them? If yes then what would you prefer out of those three? Thanks

@@electrology As long as they have MIPS, it's really which one you like the look of better and if it matches your bike. I personally like the yellow neon color of the Wavecel as it stands out like a sore thumb (see my other cycling videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLR7ldSYnbm7YmQ.html ). I like to be seen and thus live.

Adam J. Story, DC by the way, I went for Specialized Prevail II ANGi. It’s $250 but like you said it felt the lightest among a few I tried. Hope I will enjoy :) Thank you for the suggestions

@@electrology No problem. Hopefully all your helmets stay clean, shinny, and free of scuffs.

You might be surprised how often you want to do that. You don't know until you can't.

@@AdamJStoryDC Lol I do it often on my current helmet with the vents so I can reach in with my fingers.... Its gonna bother me that I won't be able to scratch now with the Wavecel helmet if I do get it....
