A new Willdeo! Great topic also! I'm looking into a new helmet right now, and was gonna pick the Mistral due to the lack of testing possibilities. I use the HJC Adwatt right now, but that leaves a gap in some positions, and the size S is very narrow. Did you end up with sizing up to an L with the mistral?
So we tested the bell javelin I currently have, then the met drone, met codatronca, kask mistral and the poc tempor. Didn't test the HJC as I've tested it before and it's not been good for me. The Mistral and Drone were the two best for me at ironman pace/power, with the mistral being chosen as it was noticeably better at 10/15w higher than ironman power. It's also a comfy helmet with a good retention system and feels like it does a reasonable job of cooling too.
Interesting video Will thanks for sharing!
The metabolic testing vid coming up is a real hoot too 😅 I'm glad there are people other than me who actually enjoy this stuff!
@@summitflow haha definitely!!

Yeah ended up being a size L in the mistral 👍
Good to see you back mate!
Cheers Ian! Hopefully get a few more videos out now it's race season and training isn't just endless hours of darkness😅
Noticed a HJC box in the background, what other helmets did you test?
How did they compare?
Any particularly good/bad for you?
