POC is a Swedish company with a mission to do the best they can to possibly save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents for gravity sports athletes and cyclists. Founded in 2005 it first appeared on the market with products designed for the ski racing market, with new solutions to improve ski racing safety, by reducing the force transmitted to the brain and body in case of a crash. These days POC make safety gear for mountain and road cycling as well as snow sports and sunglasses to help keep you safe whilst you get your adventure sport on. The Ventral Air Spin helmet comes in a variety of colours, Zinc Orange AVIP, Hydrogen White Raceday, Uranium Black Raceday, Hydrogen White Matt, Uranium Black Matt, Stibium Blue Matt, Prismane Red Matt and Sulphite Yellow Matt and comes in sizes Small (50-56CM) Medium (54-59CM) and Large (56-61CM). This high-performing helmet has been created to supply vast amounts of ventilation thanks to the precise ventilation ports and internal channels that control air intake and release at both low and high speeds over the whole head, you will never have to worry about it being uncomfortably hot in your helmet again.
Winner of the Design and Innovation Award 2019, the Ventral Air Spin also works hard to enhance the aerodynamic profile and minimise drag with specific airflow zones that enhance the ventilation and cooling, while at the same time aerodynamically optimising the trailing edge to reduce turbulence. Weighing in at just 230g (Size M) the Ventral features a fully-wrapped unibody shell construction with an EPS liner, along with the size adjustment system, which means that is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time without causing fatigue. The Spin technology comes in the form on a silicone gel-like membrane inside the pad and forms the basis of the Shearing Pad INside (SPIN) that redistributes the force of an impact to ensure the important parts - your head and its fragile squidgy interior - remain unscathed. The POC Ventral Air Spin is incredibly comfortable with its light weight and generous ventilation, the integrated Eye Garage provides a space to securely store your sunglasses mid-ride and the Spin technology gives you the peace of mind that if the worse were to happen, your head will be well protected.
