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.

**Updated review** Was able to return the helmet for a replacement and everything is good so far. Helmet fits amazing. Planet Cyclery was quick to get a replacement out and I'm very happy that it wasn't a big hassle. Changed my Overall rating from 1 star to 5 stars.Bought this $250.00 helmet for my husband, he tried it on and LOVED it. Said it fit great. Then he wanted to adjust it a little more and the retention system broke. Broke the first time trying it on! This is a $250.00 helmet...should not happen. We've mtn biking for over 30 years and have never had a helmet break while trying it on. I've requested a return replacement and fingers crossed the next one being sent will be better.

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.

Visor is for show only - it doesn't shade your eyes and adds to the overall very large profile

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.

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.
