According to the product specialist
Pros
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. |
Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS system allows easy adjustment to get the perfect fit. |
Thanks to MIPS technology, lateral and rotational forces that occur during a crash are absorbed more effectively, giving you better protection. |
Antibacterial Coolfit pads inside the helmet ensure the helmet stays fresh for longer. |
Cons
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. |
Although MIPS technology gives you extra safety, it also makes the helmet a bit heavier. |
