Comfort
The Agilis helmet is designed to provide a versatile and comfortable fit for most riders, taking into account the unique anatomy of each individual, including the size and shape of their head. It features a full-circumference adjustable headband system that cradles the entire head and avoids direct contact with the EPS foam liner, enhancing comfort. The Roc Loc 5.5 fit system, exclusive to the Agilis, integrates the MIPS liner into the headband system, offering a more customizable and comfortable fit.
The integrated MIPS headband system reduces weight compared to separate headband systems and MIPS liners. This innovative MIPS-integrated design is relatively new to the market, but we anticipate similar advancements in helmet technology as MIPS liners continue to progress and become more prevalent in the industry.
Ventilation
The Roc Loc 5.5 headband fit system is designed to securely cradle the head, lifting it away from the inner EPS foam liner to enhance the airflow within the helmet. This system, which includes an integrated MIPS liner, is meticulously crafted to align with the vent layout, ensuring no obstruction to airflow, unlike some other models. However, the generous padding along the front brim of the helmet, while offering comfort and a snug fit around the forehead and temples, may restrict airflow in this specific region.
Adjustability/Fit
The Roc Loc 5.5 headband system in size large offers a standard size range of 59-63 cm and provides approximately 2 cm of height adjustment at the rear. The chinstrap system is equipped with adjustable Y-buckles to ensure the webbing straps lay flat against the face, an adjustable chinstrap buckle, and an adjustable rear anchor point for convenient side-to-side adjustment. The Agilis helmet boasts an impressive array of adjustability features, making it a highly versatile and affordable product in the market.
