I'm in the market for a new helmet and I'm torn between 2, the S-Works prevail and the S-works evade. Both are the same price and I've tried both on and both look ok. The question is, would I look over the top using the evade as a normal everyday helmet and for use when cycling sportives or would you consider the helmet for more racing / TTs?

    I ride a black s-works Venge so neither would look odd with bike

    You'll save 46 seconds over 40km with the Evade at the cost of a hot head!

    PS Your brand of bike doesn't affect whether or not your helmet looks odd! ;)

    My guess is that the previous poster's comments are a key consideration for warm weather cycling - I suspect that the Evade would be the much hotter lid to wear, with less vent area across the surface area of the helmet. For some people this is not a major issue - for me it is right up there with fit. Looking at them at this time of year it will be impossible to tell and I would tend to veer towards caution and go with the Prevail (if you have narrowed selection down to just two).
