POC Kortal Race MIPS

With a little time under my belt with this beautifully crafted helmet, now is as good a time as any to review it. This Poc helmet truly does look and feel perfect in my humble opinion. Why? Ergonomics, fit, esthetic, and most of all comfort whether on a short or long ride. I initially was down because my goggle-stlye riding glasses didn't quite fit under the helmet... that was until I remembered the adjustment dial on the back. I opened it up a little and, voilà, no more problem. Some may say these helmets are too pricy. I say you absolutely get what you pay for and what you'd be paying for is a helmet that is in a lane of its own. There is a lot more I could say, but won't. I say do your homework, read up on this brand and absolutely read the reviews! If you're anything like me, this helmet will amaze...

Vary good hement but a little pricey

The larger size is the ONLY helmet I have found to fit my large head. And I OWN a bike shop!!!! Definitely worth the extra money.

Normally helmets hurt my head after a few hours riding as my head is large and a bit oblong. No problem with this one, extremely comfortable and fit well.

Really like this helmet, covers a lot of the head and ventilation is far superior to the 5 year old 661 helmet I had. MIPS to boot!!Initially it felt a bit narrow but once locked in it feels good. If you have a big head do some sizing research.

Luckily, I can’t report on how much this helmet delivers on what it promises.But note that the shell is thick and reaches (for me) far into the face, re just above the eyes.When pointing the bike down on a steeper descend, this is enough to obstruct my further-out-distance vision to really make me ride blind almost and makes me comparably slow. The gloss white does the rest with reflexion I guess?I also have a Bell Sixer that I do not have the issue with.

Fit and finish is good. The only issue buyers should be aware of is that the fluorescent orange color fades very quickly in the sun. After a short time the top of the helmet is very faded while the visor is not. I’m not terribly surprised as generally fluorescent colors have fading issues in my experience.

Very comfortable helmet and not too nerdy looking. I usually wear a skate park helmet so this has been a massive improvement as far as ventilation. The fit is quite nice although the chin strap seems to be a little short so if you have a big ole double chin you might need something larger. Overall this helmet has been incredible! I will consider buying a full face from POC due to how comfy and light this one is.
