The buckle sounds like the ones used on the Las Victory helmet.

That's not a new buckle some bontrager helmets already had it before Wavecel.
My son has a Bontrager Youth helmet from last year and it has that magnetic clasp. It seems fine but not necessarily better. It will last longer, but then I don't think I've ever broken a clasp. I wouldn't mind if they used a motorcycle D-ring clasp.. those seem better to me than any bike helmet design I've ever used. The D-ring setup gets you a really perfect fit every time and also deals well with the slack so it's not blowing around in the wind. If these Wavecel helmets are fairly oval they might fit me well. |

One ride in with the wave cell. It is larger and sits lower on my head than my other helmets. So far is seems comfortable, it breathes OK but not great. I’m slightly concerned about heat this summer. It is heavier than my other helmets. Hopefully I don’t have to find out how it compares in a crash.

The WaveCell fits a little on the small on my head, so the Small/Medium or Medium size I usually wear were too big-the small fits me perfectly.
On the the road the helmet is comfortable, and seems to do a great job of keeping the wind noise down. Have not had the chance to ride in the heat, but generally don't ride when it's either too hot or mid-day sunny. Personally thought the helmet was light enough, as the weight was evenly distributed on my head due to the proper fit. Thanks to Trek / Bontrager for making a safer helmet.... much appreciated! Hopefully the technology can be shared so that other sports helmet manufacturers can continue the important work of lowering the chances of head injuries. |
