Review on ๐Ÿšด POC Tectal Race Spin Mountain Biking Helmet by Jerry Forehand

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No regrets: cycling

I haven't bought a helmet for a long time, so this is my first "modern" helmet. I didn't want to buy it without trying it on, the pandemic did. Fit is great. Being a full coverage helmet, it's a little heavy, but that's your brains. The straps are soft and easily adjustable. Fits pretty "deep", but I have a flat head. I have read many reviews about glasses or glasses disorders. written by people who have not read the product instructions. The helmet is adjustable in forward and backward tilt. I had to adjust up 3 notches to get a good fit. I believe there is still an adjustment mark, but now it fits perfectly. I'm not sure about the "rotate" feature, as I'm not sure what you can achieve with slightly soft helmet pads. Not much different than other helmet pads. However, it won't be any worse than a no-spin helmet and I've lived with it for 20 years. It seems to me that no helmet is going to fit tight enough for any of these anti-rotation features (regardless of brand) to offer more rotation than the game already offers in the helmet.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
