Virginia Tech validation
All WaveCel helmets received the highest rating from Virginia Tech's third-party testing facility. This unbiased assessment proved Bontrager's WaveCel helmets to be among the highest level of protection available to cyclists with a 5-STAR rating.
Cooler than cool
WaveCel keeps you cooler. It minimizes traditional heat-capturing EPS foam and sits perpendicular to the helmet, allowing for more air flow to your forehead and temples. These areas of your head are the most perceptive regions for cooling.
