POC

The POC reviews are legit. It�s a great helmet, well made, and what you�d expect for the price point. I rode Rudy�s for a long time, including 2 crashes. Then I bought a bargain Lazer, which never fit well. I was always worried it would bounce loose on impact. The POC is comfortable, rides great, and looks like it will do its job if needed in a crash. Sizing is corrects and it hugs the head like it should. Your head, and safety, are worth what you pay for this helmet

I have a relatively large head (60 cm/23.5 in). I fall on the line between med and large sized helmets, usually going with large. But they all have felt a bit loose even when properly adjusted. The POC large size actually fits me well, giving we a snug fit when adjusted. The ventilation and sweat control is very good compared the my other helmets. The weight is slightly more than my previous helmet (by 40 gms/1.4 oz at 309 gms) but is not really noticeable. Structure overall feels substantial. I�m very happy with my purchase.

Was looking for a lightweight, breathable pad and this fit the bill - I like how the pad wraps around the side a bit to offer a little side protection which I think is needed in a knee pad. It's pretty minimalist, really geared toward the type of trail riding I do, probably not the best for downhill but should offer enough protection on a spill in a rock garden. Large pads usually fit me well and these do but I have the strap loosened all the way so could be snug for some. All in all very comfortable to pedal in and seems to have adequate protection.

I�ve been through 5 helmets over my 14 years of cycling, always rode with high-end helmets. This is the first helmet that has fit my large (60 cm/23.5�), somewhat oblong head well. Other helmets would move and slide around over rough roads, this one stays put. Overall feel is comfortable; the chin strap stays where I adjust it between wearings. Ventilation in humid NW Ohio summers has been excellent compared to my other helmets, with good sweat control. Weight for the large size was 309 grams, 40 grams (1.4 oz) heavier than my previous helmet, but the difference isn�t noticeable. Build quality is good, feels substantial. My favorite helmet.
