According to the product specialist
Pros
Excellent finish quality. |
Lightweight helmet at just 198 grams for a size M. |
Well ventilated because of the 21 large vents. |
Ideal all-round bike helmet thanks to excellent comfort and efficient streamlining. |
The construction ensures a constant supply of fresh air for cooling. |
12 ventilation openings to let excess heat escape. |
The In-Mold construction makes the helmet significantly stronger. |
The use of SPIN makes this helmet extra safe. |
A slimmer fit than previous POC helmets, which makes it suited for a wider range of people. |
Lightweight and secure size adjustment system that doesn't get in the way during cycling. |
This helmet is ponytail compatible, which means that you can easily put your ponytail through the adjustment mechanism. |
The clear reflectors make you highly visible to other road users. |
An aerodynamic glasses holder is built in so you can easily insert your glasses into your helmet. |
Cons
The white straps of the helmet can easily look a little grimy. |
The straps are a little inflexible. |
The Valeco is not as lightweight and ventilating as the HJC Ibex 2.0. |
No additional crash protection such as MIPS. |
A bit heavier than other POC helmets. |
Not equipped with extra safety features like MIPS or WaveCel. |
