Product Details

POC Octal MIPS Cycling Race Helmet

Proven at the highest levels of cycling, the POC Octal MIPS Helmet is never far from the podium. This helmet is designed for road use and is a classic within the POC lineup. The Octal has been updated with a MIPS liner for this edition, allowing it to offer more protection than ever before. MIPS acts as a slip plane, reducing the forces associated with an angular impact to limit the energy transferred to the brain, and doesn’t sacrifice the low weight and exceptional ventilation for which this model is known

The fully wrapped unibody shell covers an EPS liner to dissipate energy during an impact. A size adjustment system offers bespoke comfort for most head shapes, and a 'garage' in the front provides secure eyewear storage.

I had read up on the helmet and was looking to replace my Omne spin. I bought the large based on sizing as a 58 circumference head but this was too big and the straps did not fit flush to my head but rather always came down away from my head so sunnies would not sit great either (straps come out from the middle of the helmet as opposed to the inside). Tried the medium next but this was way too small and whilst it would fit, I could not get a skull cap on under it for winter (main gripe from my Ome spin). Had to return both and go for another option which is a shame as I like POC helmets. Hope this helps.

Verified purchaser

Needed to replace an old Kask helmet and wanted something with MIPS. Just returned from a 3-week tour wearing the helmet every day and it was always comfortable, the eye garage got a lot of use and the ventilation great. Expensive but worth it.
