The Specialized S-WORKS Helmet is my helmet of choice. I saw it first during the Tour de France and wanted a red, white, and blue one to match my cycling club colors. My FestiVELO tour guide wore one. Last summer I ordered an RW&B 2D helmet through my LBS; but, they could not get it. I’ve been told the U.S.A. helmet may not be available through retail channels. Today, I ordered a matte black S-WORKS Helmet through my LBS. Hopefully, I’ll have it by mid-February.

Apparently, the reason I did not get my helmet is a recall of the Specialized 2D Helmet Specialized changed their product name from 2D to S-WORKS after the recall.
