Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi MPS Road Cycling Helmet Review - feat. MIPS Air + 360 Fit Dial + STACC

Описание: The Sweet Protection’s Falconer 2Vi is the latest iteration of their top-of-the-line road cycling helmet. This helmet combines a wind tunnel tested aerodynamics with the latest MIPS Air integration. The retail price of the Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi is $250 and the helmet is offered in a number of matte and gloss color schemes. As the name implies, the helmet offers their 2Vi safety system which combines MIPS Air and multi-density EPS foam construction for optimized weight and impact protection. The Falconer 2Vi also features Sweet Protection’s STACC ventilation system to funnel air through the helmet and out the rear. Note, there is also an aero version of the helmet that includes magnetic vent covers which retails for $300.

The Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi is designed for speed and comfort with improved aerodynamics and cooling. Visually, the helmet has a classic road cycling profile with a shallow profile and smooth shell. Sweet Protection offers the helmet in a variety of attractive color schemes including the Dusk color, a color that gives us modern POC vibes, that we have in this review. It combines a matte exterior shell with glossy rear and internal accents that gives the helmet a unique appearance. The Falconer has quite a few vents including a wide front vent to help funnel air through the helmet. You may notice that the primary vents are slightly inset into the shell. This is a design feature carried over from the Falconer Aero which includes magnetic vent covers (i.e. a similar feature to the Bolle Furo). Unfortunately, Sweet Protection doesn’t sell the aero covers separately so you can’t convert the standard helmet into the aero version.

One of the main features of the Sweet Protection Falconer 2Vi is the STACC ventilation. Short for Superficial Temporal Artery Cooling Channel (STACC) it is an air vent design that is designed to cool down the temporal artery, exposing your temples which is the most vulnerable area of the head. Combined with the deep internal air channels that allows the Falconer 2Vi to funnel air through and out of the helmet. The ventilation design also pairs well with the 2VI technology which uses a highly integrated MIPS Air liner. Instead of having a traditional large yellow liner inside the helmet, the Falconer 2Vi looks more like a non-MIPS helmet with an open design and exposed internal air channels. The padding itself has MIPS Air nodes built in which allow them to slide around and protect your head from rotational forces in an impact.
