Louis Garneau Vorttice Aero Helmet
SportsWorld is proud to bring to you the highly sought after Louis Garneau Vorttice Aero Helmet. A good aero helmet can give you a performance benefit on par with that of aero wheels, obviously at a significantly lower cost. When it comes to choosing an aero helmet, it pays to be wary as according to independant research, some helmets marketed as 'aerodynamic' may actually hinder your performance. Louis Garneau, however, are serious about improving aerodynamics and through extensive research, development and testing they've produced the Vorttice helmet. The Vorttice Lens, which is included with the helmet, further enhances a superb airflow allowing the rider to go even faster and with less energy expended! Wind tunnel tests have proven this helmet and lens to be the most efficient aero helmet available! World Champion Mirinda Carfrae wears this super fast, great looking aero helmet to continue her Ironman and 70.3 race domination and now you can too.
Golf Ball Effect
Texturized surface on the front of the helmet helps to achieve better laminar airflow.
Vortex Generator
Small blades at the surface of the helmet create vortices that energize the laminar layer resulting in improved performance.
Spiderlock SL
Super lightweight helmet stabilizing device that fits with the webbing system. Secure and adjustable fit can be achieved using only one hand.
Evacuation Channels
In order to avoid hindering aerodynamics, the vent opening must be strategically positioned. When the cyclist is riding straight forward, the air must change direction to skirt around the helmet. This creates a high pressure zone in front of the helmet, making it the perfect place to position the vent. Air goes in at high speed, moves around the head through the evacuation channels, and out by the back opening. Heat produced by the cyclist's head is then wicked out through the back.
Vorttice Lens Included
Designed to improve aerodynamic performance, the Vorttice Lens is ventilated and included with the helmet.
