Fits great, love it.

This thing immediately went into my head. Don't mess with it. A lightweight. My Revo sunglasses stay in the "garage". I have an elongated head. Other brands like Lazer and Giro were too wide and my head could move back and forth. This helmet stays in place with no adjustment required to make it snug. I definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • So-so

Very happy with cycling

I ordered a medium size and was concerned at first when I tried them on that I needed a large size. But it turned out that wasn't the case. The helmet fits very well and securely. It's a little heavier than the Giro Aero it replaces, but feels more solid. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Giro and it looked sexy when new, but I love the added sense of security with POC. And the ventilation is very good for the Texan heat.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not bad

Good helmet but emergency exchange doesn't work outside of Europe

Good helmet, light, comfortable etc. Everything is good in that regard. Fell and hit his head. He walked normally - even a goose. But when I asked POC for a Crash Replacement discount, they said they could give me a discount code for their website, but their website doesn't ship outside of Europe (I live in Hong Kong, so it's basically not profitable). Hence the 3 stars. The helmet itself would get 5.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Cord shorter than others

Brain protection fits helmets and accessories

I grew up without a helmet. Buying a helmet was a difficult task for me. There are so many helmets to choose from. This helmet was very comfortable when cycling in the spring. Wearing an alligator around my neck under a helmet provides that extra warmth I need. The straps are fairly easy to adjust and there are multiple colors to choose from. My bicycle mirror, on the other hand, has no attachment option.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Weight

Better than my previous one

I started cycling regularly (as did many others) at the beginning of the pandemic. I only had a commuter helmet but really wanted something with more ventilation for this spring/summer. I've read good reviews about this line including the fit with ears. SIMPLY fit! In fact, I have to squeeze my ear a little. I really wish there was an adjustment. I can try to optimize it. Ventilation is amazing, looks good, light weight.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Updates

Great helmet! Hope I never have to use it.

Very nice helmet. Super light and comfortable. I like that the chin strap buckle is offset so it doesn't rub on my chin and sits a little to the side of my jaw. My head size is 22" and at first I ordered a large (it was the only size/color on sale) but it was ridiculously too big and my head looked like a mushroom. sits perfectly. The only drawback is the price. For the price, I almost hoped it would massage the scalp while driving, but it doesn't. But it is extremely comfortable and almost…

Free wind in my hair

I finally bought an expensive helmet because I'm overheated. I would do anything to reduce the heat and judging by the reviews here and elsewhere the POC promised to deliver Ventral Air Spin. And it really is. Not only is this a comfortable fit for my head, but I can actually feel the air rushing through my hair while riding, which my old Bontrager Circuit never offered. My head size is 23.25 inches / 59 cm, which is right between medium and large. I think that happens to a lot of people. I was

Lightest helmet I've ever worn

I researched LOTS of helmets before making this purchase and am very happy with my POC helmet! The look of this helmet is streamlined and very different but much better than the traditional style. It's actually very stylish and not at all as ugly as previous bike helmets, I expect ALL manufacturers will follow suit and offer the same style soon! I measured my head as suggested and out of the box it fit perfectly! I haven't felt this helmet on my head for 32 miles, it's so light and unobtrusive.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

First impression

I bought a large orange helmet. It replaced a 2006 Bell helmet that served me well, but after over 15,000 miles and 13 years it was time for a replacement. I expect this helmet to last 3x as long considering it costs over 3x the price. Fit: I have a head circumference of approx. 58 cm, so I'm close to the average size. My Bell was medium sized but I went for the large as I couldn't find an LBS to try on with this model. I even asked LBS to order both sizes for me but they couldn't do it. After…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
