Deposit paid on a Niner, finally bought a schmancy SS29er from them (after a couple of years on a Gunner) and thinking I need a new helmutschmelmut to go with it instead of my roadie Giro that I have been using to date.

POD looks schmancy enough..

Opinions please and sizes (ie: are mediums really medium etc.)

Feel free to ponce me off..

No. POD = Big money to have big letters plastered all over everything.

Have a look at the Urge helmets if you want the bucket look. Look better, lighter, more comfortable and much more reasonable…. selling like hot cakes !

Do you mean POC?!

Sweet helmets are where its at if you want fancy schmancy.

Yes. POC stuff is lovely. Like the rapha of the mtb world.
Also good safety ratings.

One of these?

The Cromwell Protector Helmet is made from layers of laminated paper. The lamp uses calcium carbide and water, which react to produce acetelyne and provide a flame. In the 1930s the helmet was advertised at the price of three shillings, with the lamp at three pence extra.

Miss spelling POC twice gets you one of these: 🙄

All teh gearz, no eyed deerz.

POC, yes of course, but try typing that whilst on the damn train.

So, sizes? Do what they say on the tin?

Muchos..
Grazias.

I found the POC helmets really uncomfortable.

The armour on the other hand is awesome.

I have the VPD2 elbow and knee pads, they are super comfy and work very well. Broke my arms at the weekend I landed that hard but the elbow pads and knee pads did their job.

I thought you were the Gok of this forum and always knew what was most stylish of everything.

Me..gok, hahahahahaha

Them POC ‘mets look ok from the Internet, never seen one on the trails though so that says something..

New Giro then.

Giro Feature?

I’ve got a POC Trabac Race, special price off amazon ( about £80 off retail) very very nice and fits great 😀

I got a POC XC helmet, it’s great.

Which Niner did you get ?
