The Oakley ARO5 Race Mips helmet is designed for optimal performance and maximum breathability on the road. With results in mind, the ARO5 Race features an aerodynamic and ventilated design that significantly increases airflow through 19 vents. Lighter than its predecessor, the ARO5, the ARO5 Race provides the necessary advantage to overtake the group. Combined with further technical advancements in optics integration, comfort, and protection, the ARO5 Race is ready to go fast.
- Fit: A 360 BOA fit system includes an adjustable dial that offers a more secure fit and maximizes safety. Overall improvements to the shell shape ensure that the ARO5 Race sits lower on the head for better balance, while fitting more naturally to the contours of the head.
- Lightweight: The ARO5 Race is lighter than its predecessor, the ARO5, achieved through a newly designed shell and other internal modifications.
- Protection: The Mips Air safety system is a low-friction layer integrated into the helmet designed to reduce rotational head movement, helping to lessen harmful forces that could otherwise impact the cyclist’s head.
- Ventilation: The ARO5 Race features newly designed front and top vents to significantly increase airflow and breathability. There are 19 vents in total on the top, sides, and back.
- Liner: The Ionic+ Antimicrobial liner is activated by sweat, keeping things fresh and odor in check.
- Glasses storage: The front vents provide cyclists with a reference point for easily storing their glasses. Unobtainium grippers hold the glasses’ stems in place, while openings in the foam inside the helmet prevent the stems from injuring the wearer’s head in the event of an impact, creating a simple and intuitive glasses storage space for cyclists.
- Design: The ARO5 Race features a badge with an Iiridium coating, reflecting the colors of the Prizm lenses seen in Oakley glasses, all celebrating the heritage of Oakley eyewear.
