    Try them on. The best aero helmet is useless if it doesn't fit well. The Evade is a bit slimmer width than some other helmets so fits long thin heads rather than round ones.

    I'm a bit of a Specialized fanboy, but I think the Evade is a real flop in the style stakes.....

    Spesh dont really do "form over function" though. It's that shape for a reason. And I personally think it looks great in the black n red scheme. Dont fit me as well as the propero or prevail though.

    I've been looking into this too, I think I personally prefer the look of the LG helmet more than the others, and it claims the biggest gains too. ( wether it's true or not is another matter ).

    The giro one is great! Definitely faster, I was about .3mph faster in the turbo.
    Looks good too I think you'll all agree.

    I have the air attack with visor. Very light comfortable lid. Ive worn it three times since I bought it a month ago. ( as opposed to 3 times in the preceeding 6 months! for my other helmet. ITs very cool around the scalp and the visor doesn't sit as tight against the eyes as glasses but otherwise excellent. Visuals without the visor aren't all that.
