POC Octal MIPS Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide slightly during an angled impact. This movement helps redirect rotational energy away from your head, which can reduce the risk of brain injury compared to a standard helmet.

Yes, it is designed specifically for that. The helmet features 21 vents that are strategically oriented to channel airflow across your head, keeping you cool without sacrificing the aerodynamic profile needed for road cycling.

Absolutely. The helmet includes high-friction pads integrated into the vents, which are designed to grip the arms of your eyewear securely so you don't have to worry about them slipping out while you ride.

The unibody shell acts as a single, cohesive structure, which increases the helmet's overall stiffness and integrity. This design allows POC to maintain a very low weight—just 267g for a size small—without compromising the protective qualities of the EPS liner.

The lightweight adjustment system is highly versatile and designed to accommodate a wide range of head shapes. Combined with the adjustable chin straps, you can fine-tune the fit to ensure the helmet stays stable and comfortable throughout your ride.
