POC Ventral Air WF MIPS Helmet White

The POC Ventral Air WF MIPS is a high-performance cycling helmet engineered for road cyclists who prioritize superior airflow, lightweight comfort, and advanced safety. This Wide Fit model is specifically designed to accommodate broader, rounder head shapes, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for a wider range of riders. Featuring a durable polycarbonate unibody shell and an EPS liner, this helmet provides a robust balance between structural integrity and weight reduction, making it an ideal choice for intensive training sessions and long-distance rides.

Advantages

The helmet utilizes advanced CFD testing to optimize its aerodynamic profile, featuring a 22-degree trailing edge that effectively minimizes turbulence and drag. Its precise ventilation ports and internal channels facilitate constant air intake and release, providing a supreme cooling effect across the entire head regardless of speed. The integration of MIPS technology offers enhanced protection against rotational impacts, while the lightweight size adjustment system allows for a personalized and stable fit. Additionally, the inclusion of an eye garage provides a convenient and secure solution for storing eyewear during a ride.

Suitable for

• Road cycling and racing
• Long-distance mountain climbs
• Riding in hot weather conditions
• Cyclists with broader or rounder head shapes

When it may not be suitable

This helmet is specifically optimized for road cycling and may not provide the necessary coverage or features required for specialized disciplines such as downhill mountain biking or extreme enduro riding. Riders seeking a helmet with a built-in visor or full-face protection should consider alternative models designed for those specific environments.

Key specifications

• Wide Fit design for rounder head shapes
• MIPS rotational impact protection system
• Polycarbonate unibody shell construction
• EPS liner for energy absorption
• Aerodynamically optimized 22-degree trailing edge
• Integrated eye garage for eyewear storage
• Lightweight adjustable fit system

How to use

To achieve the best fit, place the helmet level on your head, ensuring it covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Use the rear adjustment dial to tighten or loosen the retention system until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. Adjust the side straps so that the Y-junction sits just below your ears, and fasten the chin buckle, ensuring there is enough space for only one or two fingers between the strap and your chin. Always check that the helmet does not shift significantly when you move your head.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your head circumference to ensure the Wide Fit sizing matches your measurements.
• Confirm that the helmet style aligns with your primary cycling discipline.
• Check compatibility with your existing cycling eyewear for use with the eye garage.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the helmet shell and straps for signs of wear or damage. After any significant impact, the helmet must be replaced, even if no external damage is visible, as the internal structure may have been compromised. Clean the helmet using only mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the polycarbonate shell.
