Oakley, ARO5 Race Helmet

Very comfortable helmet, the vents work well in Florida weather. I read many comments about the shade holders not securing well.. it’s true I could be better designed. Based on manufacturer measurements I supposed to be a medium, initially I ordered a medium size and it was very very tight.. definitely it runs small. Returned and ordered the Large size. The straps are also short, works well with my ears… just right. The helmet has that cool sweat band ( only works well if your head if you’re egg shaped head) I always wear a sweat band anyways so I changed for the regular sponge band included with the helmet.. so to whom it may concern…. I bought my helmet at 50% off so it was a great deal. It’s comfortable, looks cool.

Super comfortable, fits well. I typically wear a size 7 5/8 hat and the large size fits great.

Great helmet but runs narrow

Muy bonito, llego perfecto, la almohada del frente qué es de silicona no atrapa bien el sudor, antes lo reparte mal, pero trae almohada normal para cambiarla

My previous helmet was an aro3 and I do feel that this is an upgrade. I saw some reviews saying Oakley Jawbreakers don’t fit in the sunglass slits. It fits perfectly fine for me. In fact, more secure than on my Aro3 The ONLY reason I left off one star, I’ve read and seen concerns of the chin strap “triangle” is unusually short. For me, it barely fits over my ear. So close than and shorter and this helmet would be returned. So be mindful of that. Fortunately for me, the straps fit (just barely) fine and the helmet is very comfortable and light.

Good helmet. Wanted MIPS & it had it. Breathes easy. Nice features.

The lack of adjustability in the straps is a real issue. My head is pretty average size and the straps hit my ears at the bottom. Makes for a fit that just doesn’t work for (I’d think) a fair number of people. This is a miss. Have to return it, as cool as the helmet seems. A helmet that doesn’t fit is a bad helmet…

Hey All - this helmet literally saved my husbands life last week. He was mountain biking downhill and hit the ground at full speed HEAD FIRST. Huge thanks to oakley and the MIPS technology - without it he wouldn't be here. May not be the coolest looking helmet, but we're replacing it with the same. <3

Great helmet design with good ventilation.
