I've never loved any of the TT helmets I've owned or worn. They have always been uncomfortable, hot, somewhat combersome and at least a little hard to see out of. Enter the new Lazer Wasp!
The first time I put it on and adjusted the "ATS" turn-fit dial, I knew that I could stop getting distracted by my TT lid moving around, poking me in the head and being a general pain. The Wasp fits well, is easy to adjust and most importantly to me, is nice and cool! There are few things worse than a foggy visor or overly sweaty head during a time trial. There are far more important things to worry about.
Which brings me to the inclination sensor..... It seems like a great idea and will undoubtedly help many riders shave seconds off an overall time, but I had to turn it off after about 100 meters : ) Time trialing is my weakest link, and I have not spent too many hours honing my form, so the sensor was working overtime to remind me (see included picture). The sensor will most likely be best for TT specialists and longer course Triathletes who are adept at keeping a more efficient head angle to begin with.
The integrated visor is the best I've used so far. It is a near seamless fit, completing an almost spherical leading surface of the helmet. This is definitely a difference that even a TT hack like myself can feel! This, combined with the short overall shape and light weight make the Wasp a joy to wear.
....And, in my opinion, it looks really, really cool!
