The POC Ventral Air Mips is relatively lightweight, with a size medium weighing around 250 grams. This low weight helps reduce neck fatigue during long endurance rides without sacrificing safety features.

Does the POC Ventral Air Mips fit round heads well?

POC helmets generally feature a slightly more rounded fit profile compared to brands like Bell, which tend to be more oval. The Ventral Air also features an easily adjustable size adjustment system to comfortably accommodate various head shapes.
