POC Ventral Lite (CPSC) Helmet

The lightest helmet I've ever owned. Still feels like quality construction.

El producto llegó en buenas condiciones, en el empaque original y el tallaré queda perfecto.

Wanted to love this helmet because it’s so light, but the one I received had an extra piece of styrofoam that the stock photos do not have. Makes it look weird, plus not sure if it’s legit. Returned to Amazon and bought the Ventral Air MIPS directly from POC.

Good product, fast shipping

Functional , minimalist design. Very light, good fit and comfy. Not cheap, but seemingly well made until the forehead lining became detached from glue failure.

Highly recommend. Amazing airflow and weight, although some safety is sacrificed.

This helmet is Light and well ventilated. Very premium feel and fit. Easily recommend for road riding. Fit is consistent with POC sizing.

This helmet is really light and airy, feels good in general. However, for the price and in today's world, it's disappointing it does not have Mips. I guess that's up to you how important your head is to you ;-) But honestly, I'm likely replacing this with another helmet that has it (and there are others that are within 30g on the weight, so likely unnoticeable/still nearly as light).The other part that isn't ideal is that the straps themselves are fixed in terms of where the buckles are positioned - you can only shorten or lengthen the strap in general. Every other helmet I've used allows you to adjust each segment of a side of the strap. i.e. the strap has two sides, right and left, and then you buckle these together. On each side though, you've got the front part of the strap, and the rear part, which come together at the buckle. With every other helmet, you can adjust where that buckle sits/the length of those front/rear portions of the strap, so that it fits you more precisely. You cannot do that with this helmet. For me, I'd like to move this just a little. It's not enough that I can't wear the helmet, but it's not perfect. Furthermore, for the one side of the buckle (the receiving part), where this is fixed it also means that you can't center the buckle as easily since you can't adjust where that buckle end sits on the helmet straps. So, in general, I find that the helmet winds up not sitting quite evenly on my head by default. This is solved by you making it even, and then cinching down the tightening wheel, at which point the strap isn't really the thing holding the helmet in place on your head.These factors prevent me saying this is a 5-star helmet, especially for the price (every other helmet in that price range has MIPS from what I've seen). They seem to be charging a premium for the light weight, but for example, the smith Trace (which has Mips) in size medium is 280g, and the POC in size medium is 240g. A Specialized Prevail II S-works is 265g in a size Large (so probably about the same as the POC in medium). something to consider.
