POC Ventral Mips

MIPS Air Node is integrated directly into the helmet's padding rather than being a separate plastic slip-plane. This design reduces weight and bulk while still providing the same rotational impact protection, making the helmet feel less intrusive on your head.

Yes, the helmet uses a Venturi-inspired airflow design that pulls air through the helmet rather than just over it. This creates a noticeable cooling effect, especially during slower, high-effort climbs where traditional helmets often trap heat.

The eye garage is designed to hold most standard cycling glasses securely using high-friction pads. It is a reliable spot to stash your eyewear during long climbs or when the light changes, though fit can vary slightly depending on the specific arm shape of your glasses.

While optimized for road racing and aerodynamics, the Ventral Mips is perfectly capable for gravel riding. Its lightweight construction and excellent ventilation make it a comfortable choice for long days on mixed surfaces, provided you don't require the extra coverage typically found in dedicated mountain bike helmets.

The 22-degree trailing edge is a specific aerodynamic feature designed to minimize turbulence at the back of the helmet. By managing how air leaves the helmet, it reduces drag and helps you maintain speed more efficiently, particularly when you are in an aggressive riding position.
