User Reviews

  • Some issues with the straps being too short and not being able to buckle comfortably.
  • The straps are too small and don’t reach the bottom of your ears even when fully extended.

Expert Reviews

  • The shape is more ovoid than a rounder one found on previous models, so you might have to get a different size to ensure it fits correctly.
  • The strap design doesn’t allow enough space around the ears, making your ears feel constricted.
  • The claim of being extremely fast and aerodynamic is only via computer simulation, so might not actually be true.
  • The sunglasses storage doesn’t work for all types of shades.

Summary:

The POC Ventral Spin Helmet is a lightweight, adjustable, and safe helmet that works well for those who want a stylish-looking, protective, and functional option. Despite some issues with the strap design and not being compatible with all sunglasses on the market, this helmet is a good option for those who want a fully-protective and breathable helmet for long days on the mountain.
