Why We Like The POC Ventral Air MIPS Helmet
Whether we're climbing that winding, windy mountain pass or busting out miles on a hot summer day, the Ventral Air MIPS Helmet keeps us cool with a whole host of ventilation ports that enhance airflow for our ride. POC built the Ventral Air to provide a more aerodynamic profile and minimize drag with its design. Its fully-wrapped unibody shell construction and EPS liner keep the helmet exceptionally lightweight. An eye garage makes for secure specs storage, and a lightweight size adjustment system guarantees a customized fit.

Great helmet

- I've put it through the wringer
I ordered for the reputation of the brand and quality. The helmet is great. The color was hard to find and really looks good.

Got it in red to match my bike

I was looking for a red helmet to match my bike (yes, I admit it) and good visibility, too, I suppose, that narrowed down my choices. This POC helmet was on sale -- still expensive, but reduced. A friend who had a bad head injury while cycling did a lot of helmet research and recommended POC. I liked the extra coverage in the back of the head. So I got spent some extra and got it. It fits my big head well and has room for a sweat cap. The size adjustment works well. It holds my glasses well in the slots near the temple. It seems to have good air flow -- less dripping sweat compared to my previous helmet (a Bell). I think it looks pretty good. Glad I got it, would recommend it because it holds my glasses and seems to reduce sweat.

Say good bye to sweat rolling down in your eyes thanks to the large air vents where they count most.

Mine came with broken logos.

Nice helmet, but mine came with splintered logos. Then when I tried to order another it was sold out in my size. So now I am stuck with a somewhat imperfect product or none at all.

This Helmet basically saved my life

Took a gnarly spill after crossing a wet bridge and taking the turn too fast. Ended up getting pretty cut up and sore from the crash but this helmet saved me from at minimum a concussion and maybe something far worse. I smacked my head as I went down and the helmet bounced off the concrete with no issues. Thank you POC!

Safe and comfortable
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I invested in this helmet because I wanted protection and comfort. First thing I noticed out of the box is how beautiful the bright orange color is. It is very noticeable even in the shades from far away. Second is how light it is in my hands, and lastly how comfortable it is on my head. Feels true to size. I would recommend it.

Great protective helmet

I had recently crashed and broke my helmet. This is the perfect replacement to protect my head in the future.

I've worn the POC Octal for years and really love it, decided to try the Ventral Air Mips to see if anythings new. It feels a bit lighter and the air flow is really extraordinary. A joy to wear. However... the sunglasses garage is a total fail! So disappointing, the same feature on the Octal works like a champ. The material in the "garage' that was formerly a little bit tacky is now like a dry felt and the sunglasses don't even stay in place for a brief look down, let alone a minor bump in the road. Never realized how important this feature is to me until it didn't work!! Researching a DIY work-around...

I've had this helmet for about 4 months and worn it more or less daily. The fit and finish are great. The helmet is lightweight and has plenty of vents for breathability. I am not sure what more out of a helmet I could want.
