Coincidently I jumped on my Ducati today and went down to the local brew pub for lunch. While sitting outside reading two roadies walked over to the table next to me for lunch. One was carrying a POC helmet. Naturally I engaged them on the subject of the helmet. For the sake of brevity I'll cut to the chase. They said they (they were a couple) bought the helmet for it's superior protection. They also said that "heat management" was an issue. Apparently the wearer found himself with sweat dripping into his eyes whenever he wore it on a hot day.
