While Black Friday isn't here just yet, online retailers have begun to discount products ahead of the 24th November - including Specialized, which has a range of deals, including impressive discounts on its helmets.
These deals include the Propero III, a favorite helmet of mine that delivers the look, feel and performance of the best bike helmets at a lower price tag - and right now this is lower still with Specialized knocking 50% off retail in the USA, while in the UK the orange and the maroon colorways are reduced to just £66.00.
Why do I love the Propero? Aside from the great value, the helmet balances weight, ventilation and comfort really well. The III also features a MIPS liner to protect against rotational impacts. I've always thought of the Propero as being kind of like the S-Works Prevail models but without the strain on my wallet. It's likely to be less aero than the Prevail and Specialized's other S-Works race-ready models, but for many of us this isn't a major factor/
Specialized isn't the only online retailer that has the Propero III at reduced price. In the US Backcountry has reduced the helmet by a whopping 57%, although it's still a cent more than Specialized price, with the higher percentage a result of a higher retail price.
If you're looking for other helmet deals this Black Friday then check out our main Black Friday Clothing hub, which includes reduced prices on a range of kit, including helmets.
