Hi crew I note from the helmet threads that there are a few POC Ventral Air Spin owners on the TR forums. I’m currently trying lots of helmets which I’m having to order online due to lack of available LBS options. I have already sent 3 back with at least 2 others to also go back. Having to return …

Medium, which will also allow for a beanie if it gets cold where you are,…the small looks, well small for you.

I’ve a Ventral Spin (not the Air version) in small, and at first I was surprised as to how high it sits on my head. I have a Smith helmet in Medium, so was a bit hesitant about a Small (54-55cm head) I’ve used it all season now and I’m blown away as to the comfort. Size small does sit a bit lower…

Did you check the setting of the tabs on the interior top back of the helmet? That might even out the S / M fit. Just be sure you have enough room for a hat.

Yes, I’ve tried all 3 positions. Doesn’t seem to make a massive difference but prefer the position that allows the cradle to sit lower. Also helps to keep ear straps below the ear.

I’ve got the Ventral Air Spin and use a medium. To me the Medium looks like the right fit for you from the photos. It’s a great helmet and super versatile. Used it at Leadville and for other XC riding, but usually the helmet I grab for any long ride.

I’d go M for the side coverage. Or S if you get the higher coverage Octal X model or want to be more aero. Try ordering a Scott Centric Small. Same fit and qualities, but slightly deeper IIRC https://www.scott-sports.com/us/en/product/scott-centric-plus-cpsc-helmet?article=2804066513007

Yup, medium, small is, well, too small. Like others have said, you want the larger coverage and the extra space for a skull cap and the like.

Definitely the medium. You’re right dead center of their measurements, whereas with the small, you’re on the extreme end. It also looks better.
