POC Ventral SPIN Helmet 2018 features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of POC Ventral SPIN Helmet 2018.

The first thing is material. Looking at what POC Ventral SPIN Helmet 2018 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like POC are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the POC Ventral SPIN Helmet 2018 reviews there.

• Description: POC Ventral SPIN HelmetIntroducing the finest aerodynamic performance the road has ever seen! The POC Ventral Spin Helmet welcomes the expert opinion of professional riders and has been thoroughly tested in the WATTS Lab to ensure speed, safety and high-end ventilation.Digging deep into their extensive knowledge and working with the Cannondale – drapac Pro Cycling Team to create what will certainly set the benchmark for road helmets, POC have gone all out with the Ventral Spin. Sporting a unique design to shred time off your personal best, this stylish lid leads air through the head rather than around it to reduce wake and boost your aerodynamic performance. There is the inclusion of airflow zones to create a range of different pressure points, increasing airflow and speed which delivers air around the head more efficiently. Known as the Venturi effect, your next ride is certain to be one of the coolest ones yet.With their high-end ventilation improving performance and comfort, it is fair to say the Ventral Spin Helmet really is one of the finest forms of protection on the market. Keeping you free from sweat and the build-up of odours, it also allows for residual air to travel over and around the lid. This is an impressive ability that is controlled by the aerodynamically optimised trailing edge to help limit turbulence, generating a longer linear airflow off both rider and helmet. Helping to add another dimension of raw speed to your ride, breaking up the road and saying goodbye to the peloton will leave you in the perfect position come the big sprint finish.Unrivalled SafetyIt’s not just speed that graces your ride when partnering with the Ventral Spin. Unlike many competitors who deploy the MIPS protection system, POC have created their own added layer of safety, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system known as SPIN. Reducing the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain, the Ventral also uses innovative and unique pad technology to make this the safest ride you have ever had. Sitting comfortably on your head to shear in each and every direction during impact, SPIN pads provide the ultimate form of protection, moving with the head during any unexpected falls. With the direct force transmitted to the head during falls reduced, POC have inspired your trip with supreme confidence.Lightweight ComfortOffering a helmet so lightweight you’re bound to forget it’s on your head, the Ventral Spin sports a fully wrapped unibody shell construction and an EPS liner for optimised weight and safety. Not leaving a single stone unturned in their quest for greatness, POC’s lightweight adjustment system and ergonomic precision strap allow you to customise your fitting on the go. Should the sun start to shine, there is also a new eye garage for glasses.Features:Unique aerodynamic design optimised with CFD testing for enhanced aerodynamic performance and minimal air turbulenceAccelerated airflow zones, inspired by the venturi effect, to reduce fluid dragExtreme cooling and ventilation due to innovative airflow designFeatures POC’s patent pending rotational impact protection system, SPINHigh-performance EPS liner with targeted and optimised density to provide the ideal balance of low weight and crash protectionFully wrapped unibody shell construction to increase safety and helmet integrityLightweight size adjustment system for a personalised fitEasily adjustable precision straps moulded into the helmet liner for extra comfort and safetyEye garage to keep your sunglasses securely in position when placed on the helmetUsed and preferred by Cannondale – drapac Pro Cycling TeamBuy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
