POC Ventral Air MIPS road bike helmet

The helmet road bike POC Ventral Air MIPS is the model high-end of the swedish manufacturer for roll on road or gravel and safety.

Widely aerated, the Ventral Air MIPS is equipped with many external openings and internal channels which regulate the inlet and outlet of air at both low and high speed.

This ensures that optimal cooling effect on the entire head.

The road bike helmet POC Ventral Air MIPS in detail:

The Ventral Air MIPS has been designed primarily to provide an unparalleled sense of freshness.

Thanks to its strategically placed ventilation openings and its internal channels that control the inlet and air outlet at low and high speed, this helmet offers an optimal cooling effect on the entire head.

It is therefore ideal for long mountain walks and warmer days.

The Ventral Air MIPS manages to cool its owner without negatively impacting aerodynamics: Specific areas favour air flow for better ventilation and cooling, while the aerodynamically optimized rear edge reduces turbulence.

This road cycling helmet is exceptionally light and has been developed around an enveloping single-bloc shell and an EPS foam lining.

This offers a very good balance between weight and safety. The addition of MIPS technology improves protection against rotary impacts.

Finally, within the practical range, in addition to a micrometric system of adjustment of the cranial perimeter that guarantees a personalized fit, there is also a secure storage space for glasses during the walk.

What is the MIPS system?

This technology is the result of extensive studies carried out in Sweden by the company of the same name. The principle of their brain protection system is to imitate and play the role of the cerebrospinal fluid in which our brain is immersed.

The MIPS system is in fact an additional protection added to the helmets, it is a system that allows you to dissolve your skull from the helmet shell allowing a movement of your head in case of impact.

In a crash, the MIPS system will absorb the energy of impact by dragging the skull along the hull. Rotational forces will be better dissipated and the brain will not tap against the skull box, thus being better protected against oblique impacts. Video illustration:

Guide to helmet sizes POC :

The size of helmets POC that's your lead.

Take your head circumference with a meter ribbon, placing it just above the ears and noting the size in centimetres.

• A well-fitted helmet must not exercise uncomfortable pressure points around the skull.
• The helmet once in position and attached shall not move excessively
• The jugular and buckle shall not interfere with the free movement of the neck
