Working in close collaboration with the gravel cycling community, ARO3 Allroad was developed to meet the demands of those who create their own routes, going off the beaten path in the quest for adventure. ARO3 Allroad features a unique removable, dual-position visor which attaches to the helmet with two powerful magnets. The visor protects you from the sun and debris for added functionality that will stand out on any gravel terrain. Optimal fit, all-day comfort, and increased shell coverage come standard to better equip you for the ride ahead. For additional safety, a twICEme® Medical ID NFC chip is located on the back side of the helmet. Store your vital medical info and emergency contacts within the helmet so first responders can instantly get the information they need when time matters most.

Features

• FIT: The Oakley®-designed, 360° fit system incorporates an adjustable dial for a comfortable, customized fit. Overall improvements to the shell shape ensure ARO3 Endurance sits lower on the head for better balance, while fitting more naturally to the contours of your head.
• PROTECTION: The Mips® safety system is designed for added safety against a variety of accidents, helping to reduce the harmful forces that might otherwise impact the wearer’s head.
• SAFETY: a twICEme® Medical ID NFC chip is located on the back of the helmet. Store your medical info and emergency contacts within the helmet so first responders can instantly get the information they need when time matters most.
• VENTILATION: ARO3 Allroad keeps you cool throughout a variety of conditions. A total of 19 vents at the front, rear and side of the helmet redirect air to maximize flow and breathability even during the most intense ride.
• LINING: The Ionic+™ Antimicrobial liner is sweat-activated, keeping things fresh, and odor under control.
• EYEWEAR STORAGE: Front vents provide riders with a go-to spot to easily stash their eyewear. Unobtainium® grippers hold eyewear stems in place, while cutouts in the foam on the interior of the helmet prevent the stems from injuring the wearer’s head in case of impact, creating a simple and intuitive eyewear storage space for riders.
• VISOR: ARO3 Allroad features a removable visor to protect riders from sun and debris.
• DESIGN: ARO3 Allroad features a branding badge with an Iiridium® coating, mirroring the Prizm™ lens colors seen in Oakley eyewear. Each badge color is unique to the color of the helmet, with all celebrating Oakley’s eyewear heritage.
• Helmet Travel Bag and Oakley Decal Included

What is Mips Technology?

Mips® Safety System

The Mips safety system is designed to add protection against the rotational motion (or kinematics) transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head. Rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces from angular acceleration that both affect the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. Mips’ added protection system has been proven to reduce the rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting energies and forces otherwise transmitted to the brain.

Mips safety system functionality

We know from scientific research that the brain is particularly senstivie to rotation. In the event of an impact, the helmet technology provided by a Mips® safety system is intended to help reduce the impact of rotational energy to the head by enabling a relative movement between the head and helmet.

When such an impact occurs the forces the build up between the head and helmet are immense. These forces can be compared to the weight of up to 10 people sudddenly standing on your helmet. Under such high pressure, the friction between head and helmet makes it hard for the helmet to move– even if the straps are slightly loose or if the helmet doesn’t have a properly secure fit as recommended by the manufacturer. But a Mips® low-friction layer inside a helmet can still allow omni-directional movement of 10-15mm when that high load occurs.

Energy redirection

Most helmets that are certified by industry-accepted safety standards are capable of reducing the energy of a straight, linear impact. But when it comes to angled impacts, which is the most common type of impact from crashes or falls, a Mips® safety system-equipped helmet can also help reduce harmful rotational energy.

Think about a fall on a slippery slope: If you fall and hit your head (or helmet), you will most likely continue in the same direction as before the fall. Alternatively, consider a similar fall on high-friction asphalt– a very different scenario. When your helmet hits the ground, there will most likely be a sudden stop and a rotation of the helmet. Mips intends to redirect that energy away from the head.
