POC Crane Helmet

The progressive foam lining uses dual-density materials to manage different types of impacts. It is softer in areas where you might experience lower-speed impacts and denser where higher-speed protection is needed, providing a more nuanced level of safety than a single-density liner.

While the Crane is designed with an urban, skate-inspired aesthetic, it is perfectly capable of handling longer rides. However, because it prioritizes durability and impact protection over extreme weight savings and maximum ventilation, road cyclists looking for a lightweight, highly aerodynamic helmet might prefer a dedicated road model.

The helmet features an easy-to-use dial system at the back that tightens or loosens the internal cradle. This allows you to fine-tune the fit around your head circumference to ensure the helmet stays stable and secure while you ride.

The Crane includes eight ventilation ports, which provide decent airflow for casual commuting and city riding. While it won't feel as breezy as a high-end racing helmet with dozens of vents, it strikes a good balance between a sleek, durable profile and necessary temperature regulation.

The POC Crane is certified to meet the U.S. CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets, ensuring it has passed rigorous testing for impact protection and retention.
