Great but some durability issues

By randy Ranked #1450 - Helmets February 4, 2009

Overall, POC makes a great helmet. It fits well, and feels very, very secure. You can tell that a great deal of attention was paid to both the fill and shell. However, related parts did not get the same treatment. I have two gripes. After only 6 days of use - one in dry Colorado powder and five in very deep and somewhat wet conditions in BC - the stick'um that holds the visor in place wore out so that it kept falling in my face, and the plastic pieces that hold the ear piece assembly to the helmet snapped at the insertion point into the helmet. For $200, I would expect attention to every detail, including these. Still, this is a very solid helmet and I would stick with POC despite these issues, which are annoying but can be fixed with super glue.
