Poc Procen - could you wear this?

Equipment
1

The helmet looks like a crit only helmet

2

Why? Its said its designed for a “demanding time trial position”, if I had the spare pounds/bucks I would certainly try it out on a TT.

3

It’s for road racing was my understanding

They wore it at tour down under in the road race

4

I know folk do wear visors in road races but for me they don’t look right and I would keep that for TT’s. As TT helmets goes it doesn’t look bad but for purely on road bikes its not for me :-/

I used to have a Giro Vanquish as my cold weather road helmet, but I also never used the visor. I don’t ride TTs.

I agree with you. But I end up with no glasses in all hot races since my glasses get covered in sweat

9

I would wear the visor is a crit.

I think we are talking about two different helmets here…the Procen in the OP (which seems to be a TT lid) and the Procen Air (which seems to be the aero road version.

the tail design is very different between the two.

Procen Air w/ truncated tail

Procen w/ elongated tail (and possibly deeper visor?)

Man, so tempting. I hate black on the head, always feels hot. But its truly not

Kristen Faulkner is my pro cycling crush and even she cannot pull off this atrocity.

I have never felt that a black helmet was any hotter than a lighter color…but it is also admittedly a perception issue.

Now that I think about it, I can’t remember the last time I had a white, or even a light colored, helmet.

18

I have a black and white helmet in the sun right now.

Testing this idea

Thanks for confirming I wasn’t crazy (I may be mad but I’m not crazy :wink: ) I was certain the first posted lid was a TT lid and the POC site seemed to confirm it, the preying mantis heat diagram etc :joy:

I don’t find anything in a POC line worth spending my money on. They all look awful.

My team’s kit is yellow and I’m a big fan of visibility on the road. If these become available in yellow (or orange, or white), I may add one.

Black was 3 degrees warmer on the inside, much warmer exterior

No other variables
