Hmmm, my "butt-ugly" (and bright pink to boot) POC helmet is the only one I've had in the last 35+ years that has gotten compliments. And frequently from women, even when I'm riding with my wife (shrug).

Granted, I bought it for the coverage, not cosmetics. (That, and it was on sale, quite likely because of the color.) I had a few people I trust tell me that area of coverage is more important than the MIPS technology, and the POC had the greatest coverage area of anything reasonably affordable I could find.

Don't worry, Eric, some of us "see what you did there".
