Kylie Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 POC is a Swedish helmet manufacturer, specializing in protective equipment for gravity sports. The clean lines and bold colouring of POC helmets tend to elicit strong reactions from onlookers- it’s either love or hate at first sight. I sit firmly on the love side of the fence, so I jumped at the chance to test their foray into protective headwear for road cycling, the Octal AVIP.Click here to view the article

But not if you have thick hair. 100% agree that a ponytail in the neck is not nice.

Kylie Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 That is one fugly lid and for R4-R5K???!!!!! Did I miss something. Hows it better than any R2K helmet? The aesthetics and price definitely aren't for everyone. I happen to like the POC look, but the price is sadly out of range
Odinson Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Everytime I see a POC lid, I'm immediately reminded of those CX hipsters like BrittLee Bowman. r0adrunner 1
