great ventilation, the spin feature seems to let the shell move

I'm very pleased with this helmet. The spin feature lets the shell move while the lining remains in place, which I believe is how it is designed. My head might be a little narrow, so it seems like the shell might rest to one side ever so slightly (maybe 1-2 mm). It doesn't bother me and I don't think it is noticeable unless you're looking for it. Otherwise the fit is excellent and the ventilation is great.

Thank you for your feedback.

I like it ... ah lot

I bought a white one.

Then, I liked it so much (and with the current "get it while you can" climate) I bought a black one too.

I'd argue that having 2 colors of the same helmet is not excessive, because they match any of my socks now.

It's a great helmet. I recommend waiting for it go on sale though, during one of BikeTireDirect's awesome sales, of course.

Thank you for your feedback.

I like it except for 1 thing

I bought this to replace my first generation evade helmet. Much more comfy for head. Very airy and light in comparison. The only downside is that the sunglasses dock don't play well with my Rudy Project glasses.

Thank you for your feedback.

Love this helmet!

This is my second POC Ventral Air Spin. First one was damaged protecting my head in a crash on some black ice. My head was fine, the helmet not so much, just as designed. This helmet has amazing airflow, the garage for the sunglasses is great, and I couldn't ask for a better fit

Thank you for your feedback.

Small Head/Great Fit

It has been difficult to find Helmets over the last 40 years that fit my Pin Head, and look tasteful when riding. POC has done a terrific job in both categories. The ventilation is fantastic! I definitely recommend this Helmet!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great, light, road helmet with comfortable protection.

I purchased a number of helmets this spring and ended up sticking with this one. By far the best ventilation option that I tried while still offering a comfortable amount of critical area protection.

Thank you for your feedback.

Comfortable Great Ventilation

This helmet offers superb ventilation to get you through hot summer days. Often after rides my head is almost completely dry from the vents at work. Came with a bag to stow my helmet in which was awesome. Def should be considered among your top choices within the given price range.

Thank you for your feedback.

Comfortable and stylish.

I've been waiting for this helmet to go on sale and BTD did not disappoint with the best price.

I had good fit experience with prior POC helmets and this is just as comfortable.

In the past POC helmets were a bit to oversized looking on my head but this trimmed down profile is very stylish.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great design supporting aero qualities as well as improving air flow within the helmet.

Design prioritizes safety over visual presentation.

Big heads need not apply

Been waiting for this helmet to go on sale and bike tires direct came through as usual. Unfortunately the size chart suggest that anyone with a head larger than 61cm (24 inches) should shop for a larger helmet. Hey POC, why would you finally make a $ road specific helmet that isnt made for every cyclist, big or small head?!? Missed it by a 132 of an inch. What a shame!! Thanks bike tires direct for the sale. Maybe next time.)

Thank you for your feedback.

Good looking!

Love it. Beautiful. It's kind of a super white matte finish that's different than the others. Good ventilation for summer as well.

Light and cool

My first experience was in 90-degree humid weather, 60-mile ride. The helmet seems to disappear with lots of airflow, that felt cooler. My goto hot weather helmet.

Solid Helmet

This is one of the best helmets out there. Boat loads of ventilation and protection. The best part is, it's not weird and pointy looking. This helmet would be perfect if it were like 20 grams lighter.

Best helmet Ive ever owned....

Aside from the great sale price I got on this, it is the lightest and best ventilated helmet Ive ever owned(and Ive owned Rudy, Scott, Catlike, Ekoi, and Bell). Though I dont log huge miles(just 100-125 per week), it never feels like Im even wearing a helmet. Though its not technically a MIPS helmet, POVs version of MIPS feels just as comfortable and safe as my MIPS helmets.

Thank you for your feedback.

Stylish, comfortable, lightweight, and fits perfect

This is a great helmet. I even love the matte red. The first time I wore it, the guys were envious and so now many of them have this same helmet. It is lightweight and forms perfect to give you a snug fit. You will not regret it.
