Escapa brings you the best helmets from the Poc brand. ThePoc Ventral Air Wide Fit Mips Helmet featuresa high-performance design to provide cooling like never before. With precision ventilation ports and internal channels to control airflow at both low and high speeds, the helmet provides excellent cooling throughout the head. Its construction improves the rider’s aerodynamic profile and minimizes drag. Specific airflow zones enhance ventilation and cooling, while the aerodynamically optimized trailing edge reduces turbulence.
The helmet was developed according to Poc’s Whole Helmet Concept. It features a fully wrapped unibody shell construction and an EPS liner, offering an ideal balance between weight and safety. The inclusion of the Mips system enhances protection against rotational impacts.
Mips
The Mips system is a leading in-helmet planar displacement technology designed to reduce rotational forces that may result from certain impacts. When the head rotates rapidly and comes to an abrupt stop, the rotational acceleration can cause high levels of stress on brain tissue. The stretching of tissue caused by these movements can lead to various types of brain injuries. We believe that helmets equipped with Mips technology can provide an additional level of protection against certain types of impacts. Mips uses a flat-plane displacement system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protective mechanism. This layer is designed to rotate within the helmet in an effort to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the stress associated with rotational acceleration, we could reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
*Wide Fit: Poc Wide Fit helmets are both shorter and wider, giving them a more circular internal shape that is well-suited for round head shapes.
