Why We Like The Octal MIPS Helmet
POC designed the Octal MIPS Road Cycling Helmet with the longest, hottest tours and races in mind. It balances optimal ventilation with modern safety features like MIPS technology, which uses a rotational liner to help dissipate shock from the sides. We also appreciate the eye garage to store sunglasses when we're riding.

Lightweight and super air flow
- Familiarity:

I've now done about a half dozen rides in this lid. Very light feeling and was basically as easy a possible to put on and go. I've noticed that the chin strap seems to loosen on its own volition from time to time. The rest of the retention system feels very secure. I typically wear a skull cap or standard, brimmed cycling cap under my helmet. For the most part, I've not had any issues but there a couple cap / sunglass combinations wherein I've felt like everything is being smooshed. Not a big deal when I consider the ripping deal I got on this lid.

I know POC has a good reputation for making quallity products but honestly I wanted this helmet for it's looks. What I didn't know is that the ventilation is outstanding, I was pleasantly surprised to feel the air flowing through and keeping you cool, so good looking and cool on hot summer days, very happy with my new helmet!
