POCCytal MIPS Helmet(Return to Product Page)

Was ridiculously expensive but I had been in a serious accident going over my handlebars and I figured if I could limit my losses in the next accident I would spend the money. This helmet was rated top 5 in the Virginia tech testing lab out of about 300. No 1 and 2 were not available at the moment. Lets hope I never have to really see if it is a good helmet .

It is everything a helmet should be, It is very comfortable, it has one of the highest safety ratings and its bright (I bought the orange one). I have used POC helmets for years and they never disappoint. My only disappointment is that the orange only comes in matte, I would have been that much happier if was glossy.

Absolutely in love with the POC Cytal. This was my second Cytal and it doesn't disappoint. Whether you're looking for a lightweight, ventilation, or just an all around cool looking helmet - the Cytal has you covered.

A little more expensive of a helmet than I'd like to spend, but I bought it on sale with some store credit, so it made it a little more manageable. It's a very comfortable, light, and breathable helmet. I love the bright pink and it's very easy to spot on the road. This would only be a problem with someone with long hair, but my only complaint with it is it doesn't have a good spot on the backside to pull a pony tail through and have the tighten spot properly sitting on my occipital bone. So I have to result to a VERY low pony or a braid straight from my skull. A little annoying in comparison to my old helmet, but not enough to suffice returning it.

Looks great, it's a little bit bigger than the one I had, but it doesn't feel heavier. The fit is just perfect and confortable for long 6 hour rides. Mine is white and matches my white shimano shoes.

Purchased this helmet based on the Virginia Tech ratings. Thankfully, BTD had it on sale, but it was still on the pricey side. The ventilation on this helmet is pretty good - so good that I may need more than ear covers on days the temp is in the 40's. The chin strap doesn't loosen up as I ride like my older helmet did.

I've had this helmet for a week (not very long). Adjusting the helmet to my head was straight forward and the helmet is very comfortable and snug when I ride. I bought the helmet primarily because of its excellent safety rating from Virginia Tech (https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html). It's not cheap, but I saved 25% from a "flash" sale on BTD. Lastly, BTD provided great customer service, as always (I wanted to change the color of the helmet after I placed my order and BTD made that process easy and fast).

Great fit and love the top safety review
