POC Omne Air MIPS HelmetStylish, lightweight and streamlined, the POC Omne Air MIPS Helmet is perfect for all types of cycling, from a commute to an all-weekend adventure to a leisurely pedal with friends. Inspired by their award-winning Octal and Ventral, the Omne Air MIPS Helmet offers the ideal balance of comfort, ventilation, low weight and protection but at a more accessible price point. The slim profile provides streamlined performance while large vents and inner channels provide turbo-charged ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable. Safety comes via the amalgam of a tough outer shell and lightweight EPS foam liner. The polycarbonate shell ensures protection from minor knocks and bumps. In the event of a more serious fall, this also enhances the structural integrity of the helmet. The outer provides cover for the EPS foam liner. This is the layer that soaks up harder head impacts during a fall. The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most. Extended protection around the temples and back of the head increase all-around protection, wherever you choose to ride.MIPS Integra Head Protection SolutionThe Omne Air also features the MIPS Integra system. This brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the fully integrated brain-protecting technology of MIPS. This holistic approach sees every detail of the helmet engineered to work in harmony with each other, giving you new levels of seamless safety, comfort, ventilation, fit and function.MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.360-degree Fit SystemIn order to keep the Omne Air in place, you’ll find POC’s 360° fit system. This offers an easy-to-operate and precise fit, ensuring your Omne remains comfortable when riding and stays securely in place in the event of a crash.FeaturesEPS Liner - lightweight EPS liner gives optimized protectionPC Shell - Polycarbonate shell enhances the structural integrity of the helmetMIPS Integra Head Protection SolutionAdjustable 360-degree fit systemSlim profile to minimise weightEye garage - easily store sunglasses on the helmet mid-rideWeight: 330g (M)Certification - EN 1078Shop all MIPS helmets - Click hereBuy POC Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

POC Tectal Race MIPS HelmetDeveloped using POC’s Whole Helmet Concept™, the POC Tectal Race MIPS Helmet deploys the powers of MIPS to keep your head protected on your all-mountain, trail-shredding, enduro-racing, dirt-kicking mountain bike adventures. An advanced all-mountain helmet, the Tectal Race MIPS Helmet feels fantastic to wear when you're enjoying the thrills and heart-pumping exhilaration of going full speed down MTB trails. And should you push your capabilities just a bit too far, the superb range of protective features add safety should you take a tumble. Take on The Trails with ConfidenceThe construction method of the Tectal race is borrowed from POC's groundbreaking Octal road cycling helmet. This sees a tough unibody shell bonded to a shock-absorbing EPS liner. The shell provides durable protection against minor knocks and in the event of a more serious fall enhances structural integrity.

The distinctive design of the Octal MIPS Road Helmet is the first thing to catch the eye. But function and form are closely linked here, with ventilation, comfort and protection intertwined perfectly to create both a high level of performance and an eye-catching design. Safe to its Core At the heart of the performance is the safety provided by the combination of shock-absorbing EPS foam core, made thicker in more vulnerable areas, and MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology. In the event of a crash both work hand in hand to absorb and dissipate harmful impacts to the head and brain. The protection is further heightened by the extended coverage over the temples and at the back of the head. A unibody outer shell wraps the inner core, enhancing both durability and structural integrity all while minimising weight.

For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Go With the Flow Protection is of course paramount. But comfort is also vital, and here the Octal MIPS excels. Firstly, large forward airflow vents are engineered to draw in air, internal channels keep the flow smooth and large exhaust vents dispel warm damp air. Cooling airflow is the result. POC also use Coolbest padding inside. This temperature-regulating pad minimises temperature build-up at the helmet to head contact points. Lastly, a lightweight size adjustment system makes getting the right fit remarkably quick and easy. The right fit means greater comfort and more security should you fall.
