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.
