When we're covering our craniums in anticipation of a big ride, we're looking for a few things on our dream helmet checklist: Comfort, ventilation, and fit. The Octal MIPS Helmet checks off every box. POC is a Swedish company with a mission to protect our lives and reduce the consequences of accidents for all athletes. Riding trails, gravel, or racing across tarmac, POC has our back. The Octal MIPS Helmet is distinctly airy with large vents that help offer airflow, and it's lined with EPS, which is thicker in the most exposed areas for further protection. Extended coverage is included over the temples and the back of the head. The fully-wrapped unibody shell enhances structural integrity, but also maintains a low weight. For comfortability, POC designed the Octal MIPS Helmet with ergonomic straps that are fully adjustable and ensure an appropriate fit.
