Bontrager Starvos WaveCel vs Specialized Ambush 2

Their inventory is extremely low, and the size choices are very limited. The straps are a pain to adjust and get to fit comfortably.

Earning a 5-star Virginia Tech helmet rating, the Ambush features strategically optimized dual-density EPS foam, integrated MIPS SL and ANGi capabilit...

So you want it to be comfortable, as light as possible, and also offer the ventilation that you require for the climate that you ride in. It's my firs...

Instead of the older model’s airy 20 vents, this year’s features 15 with an additional three on the visor. Large unvented sections on the top of the head and along the sides above the ears prevent airflow where the previous version allowed it. I’ve tested both versions in unforgiving conditions, wearing the new model for exposed, sunny rides in Moab, Utah, and Durango and Fruita, Colorado. And although the vents on the Ambush 2 are quite large, they still don’t live up to the comfort and airflow of the previous model’s smaller, more numerous, and better-placed vents

I am getting back into bike riding after many years away. I ordered a E Bike and needed a helmet. I went to Eddys in Stow and I was assisted by a nice gentleman. I explained that I have never worn a biking helmet but I have been riding motorcycles for 45 years

It's a nice helmet, I went with a different helmet after I had an accident that totaled the helmet. I used a Bell Super 2 and It always gave me a headache, it just didn't fit, I bought another Specialized Ambush soon after. I would recommend you find a helmet that fits your head well and stick with it. Also if you're going to be going fast, I would recommend getting goggles and ear covers

Back to biking after a few decades, I researched bike helmets and ended up choosing this one was likely to offer excellent crash protection and be comfortable. I hope not to test the first, and can attest to the latter. It's been beastly hot recently and I was not at all conscious of this helmet adding to misery. I found the strap adjustment to be a chore but I think I finally have it set right

Specialized Ambush 2 with MIPS is what I use. I’ve seen their helmet testing, it’s legit (as are most other reputable helmet makers). It’s well worth spending the extra money for MIPS or something similar whichever brand you go with.
