Product Description
POC makes the Trabec Helmet in two models. This Trabec Race Helmet has a greater proliferation of Aramid netting inside the molded EPS foam core than the standard Trabec. This gives it extra protection. Aside from the color options, this is the only difference between the two. Otherwise, it's designed for mountain bikers or anyone who might want greater coverage over the ears and around the back of the head. The goal was to increase safety without sacrificing comfort and performance.The Trabec fits more like a skateboard helmet, and this way it envelopes more of your skull. The fit can be custom tailored, and since it offers more coverage, the potential for movement when your head strikes the ground is less than smaller helmets with less coverage. Thinking about the way we wreck on trails, there is a greater chance for a variety of trajectory -- forwards, sideways, even backwards. When you get crazy, crazy things happen. So to protect your brain you need to cover your skull.POC builds the Trabec Helmet as a single layer system. It has a polycarbonate shell that acts as the first defense against impact energy. It spreads the impact across a greater area so that the EPS liner can further absorb and soften the blow and protect your brain. Inside the foam core is an aramid net. Its purpose is to hold the foam together and resist chunking under massive, high speed impacts (like rebar in concrete). It's designed as a multi-impact system, so the helmet can survive more than just a few connections with the terra firma.POC punches sixteen large vent holes in the shell, so you'll get plenty of airflow on hot days. An adjustable visor also helps on those sunny days to protect your eyes from glare and bright skies. A size adjustment system at the back allows you to snug it down for a perfect and wiggle free fit.The POC Trabec Race Helmet is Black/white, Orange/White, and White/orange. It's available in three sizes -- X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/XX-Large.

i just received my trabec race a few days ago. this helmet was crafted with extreme quality ! its practically weightless and covers alot more of your head then other helmets of this style i have had in the past. im very impressed in how much of the back of your head it covers almost like a bmx of skate boarding helmet. i have alot of confidence that this helmet will do a great job in protecting my head when i crash and i cant weight to lay my bike down to find out!

After using this helmet for about a month I can say that it's hands down the best helmet I've ever worn. The helmet fits snugly and feels sturdy and secure. Air vents are sufficient to keep you cool throughout the 3hrs+ all-mountain rides I normally do. Esthetically, it's a bit larger than your regular MTB helmet so it looks kind of funny/different. To sum it up, I fully entrust the swedish engineers at POC to protect my head and would recommend this helmet anytime.
