The wild new aero helmet, spotted atop the heads of Alison Jackson, Ben Healy and their respective EF teammates, is officially the fastest aero road helmet on the market, according to an in-depth, industry-wide, independent wind tunnel test. 

The POC Procen Air, perhaps better described as a time trial helmet adapted for the road rather than the aero road helmet style we've come to know, has already taken scalps in the WorldTour, but it can now claim an altogether different victory, one that is arguably no less valuable.
