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 Air SPIN Helmet 2019.
The first thing is material. Looking at what POC Ventral Air SPIN Helmet 2019 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.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. 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. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: POC Ventral Air SPIN HelmetThe perfect helmet for fast, hot days on the bike. POC have combined aero performance with maximum ventilation to deliver unrivalled speed and protection. Often compromising on ventilation in pursuit of aerodynamic gains, aero helmets typically are not the best for keeping a cool head in warmer conditions or hot climbs. Combining incredible airflow over the head and excellent cooling with slippery streamlining POC have created a helmet with unsurpassed performance and comfort. Using CDF analysis the Ventral has been designed to create minimal air turbulence while precisely placed intake and exhaust vents suck air through internal channels, turbocharging the cooling performance of the helmet.POC ProtectionYou can also be confident head protection isn’t compromised in pursuit of venting and aerodynamic performance. The EPS liner features multi-density zones to deliver targetted crash protection and this also helps keep weight low, just 230 grams for a size medium. The unibody shell is full-wrapped enhancing safety and helmet integrity while the straps are anchored to the helmet for a greater degree of hold in the event of a crash. Lastly, a lightweight size adjustment system keeps the helmet locked in place, vital should you take a fall.SPIN (Shearing Pad INside)Unlike most of its rivals who deploy the popular MIPS technology, POC has created their very own protective system known as SPIN, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system that reduces the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain. Using an innovative and unique pad technology to keep you safe you’ll be protected from unexpected falls and install a new level of confidence as you ride.Features:Structurally optimized helmet with precise ventilation ports and internal channels to control the air intake and release at both high and low speedsExtreme cooling and ventilation due to ports and innovative internal airflow designUnique design optimized with CFD testing for aerodynamic performance and minimal air turbulence.Features POC’s patent-pending silicone pad system, SPIN (Shearing Pad INside).High-performance EPS liner with targeted and optimized density to provide the ideal balance of low weight and crash protectionFully wrapped unibody shell construction to increase safety and helmet integrityLight-weight size adjustment system for a personalized fitEasily adjustable precision straps anchored to the helmet liner for extra comfort and safetyEye garage to keep your sunglasses securely in position when placed on the helmetUsed by EF Education First Pro Cycling TeamBuy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
