description POC Octal MIPS Overview
The POC Octal MIPS helmet provides advanced head protection for cyclists. Constructed with a lightweight carbon fiber shell and featuring an expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner alongside an aramid bridge, it incorporates MIPS rotational technology. This system reduces rotational forces experienced during impacts, offering enhanced safety compared to traditional helmets. It is suitable for road cycling, mountain biking, and riders who value a minimalist design and exceptional impact protection.
help POC Octal MIPS FAQ
How does the POC Octal MIPS protect your head in a crash?
The helmet incorporates MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It pairs this with an EPS liner and an aramid bridge for structural rigidity.
Is the POC Octal MIPS a heavy cycling helmet?
No, despite its robust safety features, the Octal is notably lightweight due to its unibody polycarbonate shell construction. The large vents also help keep the overall weight down while providing exceptional airflow.
Does the POC Octal provide good ventilation for summer riding?
Yes, the helmet is famous for its massive, gaping vents that channel air directly over the rider's head. This design makes it one of the coolest and most breathable helmets available for hot summer cycling.
Will the POC Octal MIPS work with a GoPro mount?
The POC Octal is primarily designed for aerodynamics and safety, so it does not feature a built-in action camera mount on the shell. Riders usually need to use an aftermarket strap mount to securely attach a GoPro.
