Ladies! The 2015 Sea Otter Classic was filled with lots of great new and exciting women's products. We went searching for them in the pits, and this gallery highlights the best of the bunch. From convenient bib short designs to a new bike and fresh colors, there's quite a bit to see.

First up is the new Women's Ambush helmet from Specialized. This lightweight and well vented design offers extended coverage down the back and sides. Specialized uses an aramid-reinforced skeleton inside the helmet to make for a sturdy lid that complies with safety standards and is able to accommodate massive vents to keep the rider cool. Bringing in some road cycling technology and using low density foam for impact protection, it weighs right around 250g - lighter than most helmets on the market.



A new fit system hugs the head providing a secure fit with 360-degrees of tension adjustment using an integrated dial at the back of the helmet. There are five height adjustment positions. A micro adjustable visor allows for a wide range of angles for getting the sun out of your eyes, having maximum range of visibility on steep descents, or making room for googles. The web splitter takes out the guess work of trying to get your straps adjusted evenly around your ears.



The Women's Ambush Helmet is available in turquoise/hyper green at www.specialized.com with a $180 MSRP. If this colorway isn't quite your jam, there are five other cool colorways available in the Men's section (don't worry, we won't tell).
