Oakley’s helmet line is dubbed ARO, with three models: the all-around ARO3 ($180), aero ARO5 ($250) and time trial/triathlon-focused ARO7 ($500, with two visors). All helmets use MIPS liners and Boa fit-adjustment closures. The ARO3, from the front, has a passing resemblance to POC’s Octal, which we like for its airy feel, even on warmer rides. The ARO3 has deeply channeled vents to speed airflow, while the ARO5 has fewer front vents, but is designed to reduce drag while still being cool enough to use on hot days. The ARO7 fits the trend in helmet design for non-draft events like time trials and IronMan triathlons, with a slightly elongated shape, full shell coverage over the ears, and minimal venting.
