I really like this helmet! The comfort and fit make it a pleasure to use. Most of the time while riding I don't even know it's on. The straps grip my head lower than other I have used and it stays put without sliding down. (thinking of you Giro.) I have also worn Specialized and Lazer helmets and the MET tops them. The magnetic clasp is cool and there is good ventalation.
I tend to ride in cooler cilmates, so unsure how it would be in warmer temps.
Glad I purchased it when I did, since it looks like the prices have gone up dramticaly. Must be the new tariffs. Thank you Mr. President. ??
The Vanquish helmet has MIPS, a magnetic Lens shield that is also polarized, and is the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. I opted for the rear attachable light gives 30 lumens of awareness in blinking mode. You can wear glasses with this helmet as the detachable magnetic Lens has enough clearance to do so. I've been using this helmet for the past 6 weeks (I ride 4-5 times a week), it's lighter than my previous Lumin helmet, more comfortable, and haven't had any cons on my purchase.
As a person with a Round-Oval head shape I have struggled to find bicycle & motorcycle helmets that fit my head in the US market. My head also measures 59cm, which normally places me in-between a medium & large helmet with most manufacturers. This is not the case with this POC helmet! The Ventilation with this helmet is outstanding, much better than my out going Giro Aries Spherical helmet; plus the fit is much, much better than the Giro.
I recently purchased the Giro Aries Spherical MIPS Road Helmet in matte black, size medium, and I'm thrilled with its performance. The sizing is true to size, fitting my head perfectly without any guesswork. The helmet is incredibly comfortable, with soft padding that doesn't irritate even on longer rides. The head adjustment system is intuitive and secure, allowing for a snug, customized fit that stays in place.
Visually, the matte black finish looks sleek and stylish, avoiding the bulky appearance some helmets have. It doesn't make my head feel or look large, which is a big plus for aesthetics. Most importantly, the helmet feels safe, with the Spherical MIPS technology providing confidence in its protective capabilities. Overall, this is a fantastic helmet that balances comfort, fit, style, and safety perfectly. Highly recommend!
