Why We Like The Specialized Search Bike Helmet
Like an air conditioner for our head, the Specialized Search Bike Helmet offers lightweight protection in a highly breathable design for everything from adventurous gravel rides to the daily commute. This helmet employs the biggest vents in its class for constant air circulation on warm-weather rides, and features innovative 4D Brow Cooling technology to keep the sweat out of our eyes and ensure that cooler heads prevail. The FS3 Fit System and Occipital base adjustment customize the fit for personalized comfort, while innovative sunglass storage with hidden rubber flaps keeps our sunnies safely stored when we need them out of the way on long climbs or snack breaks.

It Checks the Boxes, But…
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I’ve had this helmet for almost 3 months, and I’m a rider that is on the bike 6-8 hours per week. It’s mostly on the road, but I’m happy if I can find some good gravel bike friendly dirt. What I like about It is that it looks like a “normal” helmet, and doesn’t get too crazy with optimizing for aerodynamics. My head stays cool on warmer days. And I really appreciate the holder for my sunglasses. The newer MIPS protection, where the shell has more freedom to move, is a nice update, and I think makes for improved safety. BUT… the one thing I haven’t been happy about is that with the improved freedom to move, you hear the MIPS pieces rubbing against each other a fair bit since it’s all happening inches from your ears. I think I’ve finally been able to tune out that sound, but it’s taken me some time. TLDR; If you’re looking for a non-aero helmet without good coverage, keeps you cool, lets you easily stash your glasses, and has some improved safety tech. This is a good choice. But if you really don’t like to be distracted by the sound of the MIPS components rubbing against each other, you may want to look elsewhere.
