I think this paint scheme is really weird, and frankly ugly. It's weird, because I think the Giro Air Attack looks awesome in all of its color schemes. But these Ekoi lids, which were seen this year on some Pro Tour riders, just look weird. The shape doesn't rub me the right way, there are no integrated visors, and they have no venting.

It wasn't long ago that most of the lids you saw on the heads of pro triathlete were standard, off-the-shelf fare. But in recent years, manufacturers have taken advantage of the unique marketing opportunity that is the Ironman World Championships, and more and more athletes are getting the full custom treatment, with one-off paint jobs not available to consumers. We're going to take a look at several of them here, as well as a few other pieces of custom or interesting kit elsewhere on the athletes' bikes. This will be our last article for this Kona block, before we bid it adieu and look forward to next year's race.
