Review by CraiggReviewed 7/1/2021by CraiggCycling EnthusiastWillamette Valley, Oregongreat ventilation, the spin feature seems to let the shell move I'm very pleased with this helmet. The spin feature lets the shell move while the lining remains in place, which I believe is how it is designed. My head might be a little narrow, so it seems like the shell might rest to one side ever so slightly (maybe 1-2 mm). It doesn't bother me and I don't think it is noticeable unless you're looking for it. Otherwise the fit is excellent and the ventilation is great.

Review by Tim RReviewed 3/11/2021by Tim RCycling EnthusiastBeautiful East Dallas, Texas2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I like it ... ah lotI bought a white one.
Then, I liked it so much (and with the current "get it while you can" climate) I bought a black one too.
I'd argue that having 2 colors of the same helmet is not excessive, because they match any of my socks now.
It's a great helmet. I recommend waiting for it go on sale though, during one of BikeTireDirect's awesome sales, of course.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/3/2021by AnonymousSF BayI like it except for 1 thingI bought this to replace my first generation evade helmet. Much more comfy for head. Very airy and light in comparison. The only downside is that the sunglasses dock don't play well with my Rudy Project glasses.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/22/2021by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastAlexandria, VA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Love this helmet!This is my second POC Ventral Air Spin. First one was damaged protecting my head in a crash on some black ice. My head was fine, the helmet not so much, just as designed. This helmet has amazing airflow, the garage for the sunglasses is great, and I couldn't ask for a better fit

Review by OMSReviewed 10/6/2020by OMSSpokaneSmall Head/Great FitIt has been difficult to find Helmets over the last 40 years that fit my Pin Head, and look tasteful when riding. POC has done a terrific job in both categories. The ventilation is fantastic! I definitely recommend this Helmet!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/17/2020by AnonymousCompetitive RacerDetroit, MichiganGreat, light, road helmet with comfortable protection.I purchased a number of helmets this spring and ended up sticking with this one. By far the best ventilation option that I tried while still offering a comfortable amount of critical area protection.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/3/2020by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastComfortable Great VentilationThis helmet offers superb ventilation to get you through hot summer days. Often after rides my head is almost completely dry from the vents at work. Came with a bag to stow my helmet in which was awesome. Def should be considered among your top choices within the given price range.

Review by PaulReviewed 5/23/2020by PaulCycling EnthusiastNew York1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable and stylish.I've been waiting for this helmet to go on sale and BTD did not disappoint with the best price.
I had good fit experience with prior POC helmets and this is just as comfortable.
In the past POC helmets were a bit to oversized looking on my head but this trimmed down profile is very stylish.

Review by GlenReviewed 11/5/2019by GlenLouisiana0 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Big heads need not applyBeen waiting for this helmet to go on sale and bike tires direct came through as usual. Unfortunately the size chart suggest that anyone with a head larger than 61cm (24 inches) should shop for a larger helmet. Hey POC, why would you finally make a $ road specific helmet that isnt made for every cyclist, big or small head?!? Missed it by a 132 of an inch. What a shame!! Thanks bike tires direct for the sale. Maybe next time.)

Review by Ivan V.Reviewed 12/2/2021by Ivan V.McallenSuper comfortable This is an amazing helmet that you can use for cross country, gravel, road and more. Light weight, good ventilation, easy to adapt and is true to size. I'll buy another in a different color!

Review by SupeReviewed 8/3/2019by SupeCycling EnthusiastNYLight and coolMy first experience was in 90-degree humid weather, 60-mile ride. The helmet seems to disappear with lots of airflow, that felt cooler. My goto hot weather helmet.

Review by BrottReviewed 7/13/2019by BrottCompetitive RacerPortland, ORSolid HelmetThis is one of the best helmets out there. Boat loads of ventilation and protection. The best part is, it's not weird and pointy looking. This helmet would be perfect if it were like 20 grams lighter.
