Oakley ARO3 Helmet

With its luxurious comfort and impressive breathability, the ARO3 Helmet has been designed to tackle the dreaded mountain climbs. Taking their first steps into the cycling protection market, eyewear specialists Oakley have created a lid with optimised ventilation and intense levels of protection to make the hottest of summer days a pleasure not a chore.

Premium Protection

Whether you’re toiling under the heat of the sun or desperately trying to reach the top of an unforgiving climb, the ARO3 works to keep you cool under pressure so you can focus on the journey ahead. Using large cooling vents to maximise the airflow around the head, Oakley have not only raised the bar when it comes to comfort but they have redefined how we cycle. Keeping sweat and odours to a minimum the anti-microbial X-static brow pad helps to avoid the build-up of moisture and eliminates it for the entire lifespan of the garment.

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System)

The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.

The Ultimate Fit

For those that love customised comfort, the ARO3 sports a BOA FS1-1 360-degree fit system, providing the ultimate, exact fit to your head which is nothing short of perfect each time you climb onto the saddle.

Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be an Oakley creation unless there was some form of integration with glasses. The ARO3 uses a TX1 lace which lies flat against your head to allow for a seamless eyewear addition, offering an integrated eyewear dock to stow away your shades should the light start to fade.
