POC Crane MIPS Helmet

Most helmets use a single-density foam, but the Crane MIPS uses two layers. The stiffer outer layer is designed to manage high-energy impacts, while the softer inner layer absorbs lower-energy forces, providing a more progressive and effective stop during an accident.

Yes. It features a thicker-than-average polycarbonate shell specifically designed to resist the dents, scratches, and dings that often happen when you're locking your bike up or storing your gear in a busy city environment.

The MIPS Evolve system is an integrated layer that allows the helmet to slide slightly upon impact. This movement helps redirect rotational forces away from your head and neck, which can significantly reduce the risk of brain injury during certain types of accidents.

The Crane MIPS includes 10 ventilation ports designed to keep air moving while you ride. While it prioritizes durability and protection, it offers enough airflow to keep you comfortable during typical urban commutes.

You can customize the fit using the rear dial system to tighten or loosen the cradle around your head. Additionally, the adjustable strap dividers allow you to position the straps precisely around your ears for a secure, stable feel.

At 400 grams, it is slightly heavier than a dedicated road racing helmet, but it remains well-balanced for daily commuting. The extra weight is a trade-off for the added durability of the thicker polycarbonate shell.
