Featherweight and ready to take a beating, the POC Calyx Carbon Helmet is built for long days and hard chargers. The retractable fit system and foldable ear pads streamline things for more compact stashing in our pack. Once on, this helmet's rear dial lets us turn in a perfect fit, while the plush ear pads and included fleece-lined neck warmer keep us feeling snug. As we ride, the light and tough carbon fiber outer shell puts less strain on our neck and resists dings and dents from passing branches.
