POC Omne Air Bike Helmet - Whether cycling to work, exploring gravel tracks or on the local trails, the helmet gives trusted protection

Perfect helmet that fits perfectly on my partners perfectly formed head.Value for money and looks great.

I've had a couple of rides now with this helmet and really like it, a step up from my Spiuk Dharma helmet.Very comfortable, feels like it surrounds your head rather than sitting on top and the ventilation works well.The helmet seems to generate little wind noise, a quiet hiss, I always thought a car was behind me with my other helmet.The straps are comfortable, the splitter taking the straps easily past my ears without annoyingly touching my earlobes. You can adjust the straps a slight amount but would be better if could move them a bit more.The padding is comfortable and the helmet feels very sturdy when on.The only real negative is that it feels (and is) heavier compared to previous helmets but makes up for that by being amazingly comfy.

POC is an award winning Swedish company with a strong mission to do the best it can to possibly save lives and to reduce serious injuries and as well as a range of helmets they also do apparel. I did a lot of research to arrive at purchasing a POC helmet as they don’t come cheap but though there were many mixed reviews out there overall they were good and have a solid background in safety in sports and offer great design too.This the POC Omne Air Spin is their entry level helmet which I purchased at a very good price all due to my patience. The POC Omne Air is well ventilated for those who get a little too hot and sizing is good which it has an adjustable dial system that tightens through the entire helmet and comes with their version of MIPS system known as SPIN (Shearing Pad INside), which is their patent-pending silicone pad technology system. It comes in a nice box but also with a dust cover for when not in use.As I previously mentioned before it is a great design as is all the other helmets in the range which all come in some really interesting colours, mine is the Zinc Orange and White which was my compromise at the time but overall goes very well with my cycling gear and the Orange actually is good from a drivers perspective in being seen and weighs in at 305g (Medium). Overall, I am happy and hopefully I won’t need to find out how safe it really is.

After catching a glimpse of myself in a reflection wearing my old Giro helmet I realised I looked like a giant mushroom head. I immediately looked for a replacement. After trying several helmets from various manufacturers which either didn’t fit like they said or were simply ill fitting I ordered the POC. My head is 59cm and this helmet in medium fits perfect and looks great. There’s still room for a skull cap too. Great helmet. Great looks. Great quality.

Absolutely love this helmet. The quality of construction by POC is second to none. I have had many brands of helmets over the years but having returned, this helmet does not disappoint. The sizing is true to the guide. I’m a 58cm which is a bit of a in between on most brands but a medium in this. It has good comfort, adjustment and air flow. You can even tuck your glasses securely in the vents, I can’t fault it.

Helmet sizes up very small unfortunately

This helmet arrived within 24 hours of order, free delivery !!I researched compact helmets, decided this was my best option, I wasn’t wrong, take a look.I’ve been a regular cyclist since the1960s , owned about 10 helmets, Specialized and Kask, this POC is the first one that actually in my honest opinion, looks the way I want a helmet to look, not bulbous, mushroom shaped or just downright silly.Its a medium, I’m around 58 cm, I made a few adjustments and it fits like a glove, a tiny bit heavier than previous helmets but worth every gram, yet to ride a bike with it on, but who cares about minor details like that, it looks good, that makes me feel good !!!£104 is not too much money these days, it’s equipped with the latest levels of protection, and it may just save your life into the bargain, what’s not to like ?

I don’t think it is an underestimation to say this helmet probably saved my life today. I was cycling at 25-28mph when a pedestrian stepped out from between two cars into the road right in-front of me. I had no chance of stopping there was barely time to react. They were not hurt but I went straight over the handlebars onto my head. I didn’t loose consciousness but thought I might have broken my neck. I was taken by ambulance to A and E. I probably have a rotator cuff injury in my left shoulder but no broken neck and I am alive. Without this helmet the story could have been very different. Just look at the photos. I have bought another of these because of this experience.
