After logging in some miles wearing the S-Works Prevail helmet, it feels like there is nothing on your head, which is a great feeling. Specialized has achieved this by using their patent pending Dual Density EPS, which optimizes impact performance. In addition, the patented Kevlar-reinforced Inner Matrix allows for ultra-light construction.
One of the really cool features of this helmet is the ultralight Mindset micro-dial fit system with height adjustability which enables a perfect and comfortable fit.

The straps use a Tri-Fix web splitter for improved comfort and easier strap adjustments. The straps are a minimalist design, but don’t sacrifice durability, comfort or strength.
Specialized not only focused on weight and comfort, but also on the aerodynamics of the helmet.
The S-Works Prevail is loaded with vents. One of the key features of the S-Works Prevail is the use of the 4th Dimension Cooling System, which allows the air to flow through for increased cooling and less sweat build up. It also pushes the hot air to the rear of the helmet which creates a much cooler helmet.
Large vents in the front and throughout the helmet provide a light and cool ride.
