It looks like a good helmet but it was too small for me. Especially from the sides. My head circumference is 58 cm and I ordered size M. Way too small.

I was expecting more ventilation

I come from a kabuto mtb helmet that I've bought in 2016, and I didn't feel a night and day difference. Ventilation is similar, maybe in some situations the propero is a bit better ventilated, but it's not like turning the AC. Maybe because my previous helmet was also a high end helmet. It definitely looks better, but the trifix is just a couple of mm of rubbing my ear. Luckly, it didn't

My last Propero was five stars

Previously have really enjoyed several medium Sworks Prevail and Propero helmets. I trusted that because the Propero was so good, why would the Propero III be any worse? The non-adjustable trifit is garbage. It smashes my ears and there is nothing I can do about it. My head is 56cm so the size is right. No wonder it was on sale for so cheap. I'll be returning this.

Tall heads big ears beware

The lack of adjustable height of the y-connector piece below the ear straps made it such that the straps pulled up on the bottom of my ears, so even though I had the correct size helmet for my head diameter, it didn’t fit comfortable.

No ear distance adjustment

A helmet that can’t adjust in the ear is useless and only meets the needs to those that have the right distance already preset. This helmet might be safe in terms of safety but without able to adjust the ear distance/fit it can cause ear rub/pressure that is not comfortable.

Not a great fit

Even after adjusting the fit, the helmet has a tendency to slide forward which is not ideal. After just over 12 month's use, I've had to replace the lining twice. The ANGI app works well but it uses battery power swiftly so take a spare !

So good in a crash yesterday I bought another one this morning!

I always appreciated the venting and fit of my Propero 3 but after a crash yesterday on our spirited group sprint at 35mph where two guys tangled in front of me and I couldn't thread the needle, I'm a fan for life. I flipped the bars and landed on my head on the back of the helmet which of course took the impact and was destroyed but saved me from a huge injury in my opinion. Called my local Specialized Distributor (Incycle Fort Collins) and they had a new one waiting on the counter when I arrived this morning. Got back on the bike today, all systems go and my new helmet is a trusted ally :) Cheers for a product that really performed for me when I absolutely needed it. Thank you Specialized.

Absolutely love my Propero helmets. I have had a Propero II since 2012 and decided to get a new helmet. The ONLY thing I do not like is that the yellow MIPS sticker is on the outside (no issue) but falls apart is you try to remove it, and also leaves behind an ugly spot once it is gone.

Saved me!

I went down this week when a rider on the bike trail decided to veer in front of us. My head smacked the pavement incredibly hard. We were going approximately 20 mph. My helmet cracked in a couple of places as it should, and I got up and walked away with no head injury or concussion, just some road rash and sprains. This helmet saved me! I already have a new Specialized MIPS helmet on the way. Thank you Specialized for making an incredibly safe piece of equipment.

Tengo 2 cascos de este modelo. El primero mas antiguo que tiene visera y sensor.. y el segundo, que viene sin la visera y sin sensor... Independiente de eso, es un muy buen casco, liviano, con buena ventilación, las correas son buenas y de buen material. Quizá las almohadillas internas hacerlas de mejor calidad, ya que tuve que cambiar las de un casco, pero no hay una específica para el modelo (pero sirve igual). Es un caso que se ajusta bien a la cabeza y, luego de varias horas de pedaleo, se agradece que sea liviano. Saludos.

Liviano y efectivo.

Tengo este casco hace varios años, luego de usar otros de la misma marca de diferente referencia y menor precio ($), puedo decir que, se siente durante el ciclismo en carretera los beneficios de su diseño aerodinámico; tiene poco peso y buena ventilación. También se puede destacar su sistema de ajuste por su comodidad. En varias ocasiones, al llegar a un avituallamiento, me he olvidado que lo llevo puesto. Como un punto en contra, aún sigue siendo de perfil un poco abultado, al estilo "champiñón", pero igual sí lo recomiendo.

I think this is a great helmet for the price! Fits well, super light, great airflow, and MIPS! I Just wish the fit system was a little bigger so it would fit around my occipital bone more comfortably. Sometimes I can get a headache if the helmet is adjusted too tight or positioned wrong on my head. Otherwise a great helmet!

Saved my skull

I purchased this helmet about a year ago, my first Specialized helmet. My prior helmet was aging and didn't have a MIPS liner. Two weeks ago, I had a major crash when a car pulled out in front of me and I went over the handlebars in my attempts to avoid being hit. The helmet cracked in 2 places + scratches all along the right side, but my skull was undamaged. the rest of my body wasn't quite as lucky but I'm so thankful for the Propero III helmet. (prior to my crash, I'd logged 1000+ miles in it in all conditions and found the ventilation and comfort to be really good. absolutely no complaints!)
