Cons Purchased a POC Tribec Race for myself and POC Trabec for my wife. Both purchases made online, using POC's sizing guide. The helmet I received was too large and the one my wife received was too small. Helmets were never used only tried on in the living room. Contacted POC and was dismissed as they do not do exchanges. Site does state they will take back defective product, I would consider (safety issue) a sizing chart that completely misses the mark on helmet sizing to be a defect, even if the product itself is bomb proof. Being quoted policy by POC is not comforting, and I personally, when purchasing online, rely on the manufacturer to provide accurate information...not really cool to walk into the LBS and try on a helmet, then buy online. Sorry POC I really wanted to like you.
I love this helmet! What attracted me to it was the color scheme, mine is mostly white with an orange rear, and the brand. It does everything that a helmet should. The adjustment in the rear is easy to operate and it comes with a spare set of foam inserts.
Another reviewer said that it scratches easily, and that's true. Since this helmet is matte, I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean the outside. Because of this it still looks just as white as when I bought it over a year ago.
In terms of comfort and protection, this helmet is top notch. I love the modern design and the great color choices. My only gripes with this helmet is that there is little to no airflow, which makes it an extremely hot helmet to wear in the summer.
Pros -Great back of the head protection
-multiple color options
-very comfortable
This is a great helmet that offers great protection at a fraction of the weight as other helmets. The only downfall to this helmet is the price. The poly-gene also helps keep the helmet from smelling. This is a great helmet and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little bit more out of there helmet.
A decent helmet for those AM- Trail riders. It takes the best of both worlds (DJ-XC) and puts them together for a durable trail helmet with good protection
Pros Great fit, Solid feeling, decent retention straps.
Buyer Beware.
