POC Coron Air Spin Helmet Review: Why I didn't buy a Fox Proframe or TLD Stage!

- I finally went ahead and bought a full face helmet after much thought research and trial. And I can't tell you enough how glad I am that I did not get a Fox Proframe helmet, even though I thought they look awesome. Watch the video to find out why.
Here are some links to the best deals on purchasing the POC Coron Air Spin:

Never let anyone tell you you're wearing too many pads. I look at well protected riders and see the family and job and life behind them that needs protecting.
Well said 👏👏
true 👍
I'm telling you you're wearing too many pads.

I don't drink but when I do, it is usually an Irish cream or fruity drink. I know, feel free to make fun😇
I closed my eyes and enjoyed the Owen Wilson helmet review 🤘🏼
Great information. I did not know about the EPP rating. Thanks for sharing!!!
Good review dude! Your POC helmet is a full DH helmet so definitely a different category than either the Pro Frame or the Stage. I actually ended up going with the Stage because I live in Australia and it gets so hot here, therefore I wouldn't end up wearing the POC as it's not vented well enough so I went with something I will where even during the summer months here. The Stage venting is amazing and it is EPP rated so that gives me some comfort. I to would definitely not go with the Fox Pro Frame. Nothing against Fox as they usually make great stuff but the Pro Frame is just that little bit too flimsy. By the way, it is always recommended that if you crash and hit your helmet on the ground that you replace your helmet. EPP or no EPP! Cheers
Yellow and black is sick, nice helmet. Great video, wish I watched this 1 month ago I didn't know half the information you shared. At least I have a fox RPC but I like this more
great video man! thanks for sharing!
POC make some great stuff! Just bought knee and elbow guards and super happy with them. I have a TLD Stage helmet but will consoder POC next time 👍
do the straps stay in place or does it go out of adjustment ? like all helmets I had before I switched to full-face helmet with double D ring buckle.
but multi impact foam is a great feature.
Took a relatively minor crash in a FOX Proframe this weekend on a flat trail in sand, Nearly split the helmet in half and ended up with a concussion. I was amazed how little force it took to destroy it. Amazingly comfortable helmet, great airflow... don't consider it safe...
Richard Swan sorry to hear about your crash, I hope the concussion was minor. I had some acquaintances with similar stories and that is where my research for this video began, thanks for sharing! When it comes to weight and air flow the proframe definitely wins, but sadly not protection, I really hope fox will update the materials and design to get it to function better
I prefer that the helmet is broken and not the head, the helmet can be bought, but the head is not, if the helmet is broken, then it means he did his job.
Same thing, proframes are incredibly fragile. Hit the back of my head really lightly, incredibly painful night, AND the beak cracked! Got the POC Coron air mips and i am never getting a proframe ever again
I have a Fox airframe and use it for trail riding. You don’t want a heavy helmet with bad ventilation when you need to paddle a lot. The Airframe has a DH rating bit that doesn’t mean you should use it for that. Fox has better helmets for dh. About the single impact, thats normal for most helmets. My motorbike and snowboard helmets can also only have one hit. We are talking about a serieus impact. If you have a serieus crash with your POC you will replace it even if it looks ok. The foam on the inside will be dented and doesn’t give you the same protection as before. I do like the looks of your helmet, it’s awesome.
Things I’ve noticed with mine, the top two rear vents are barely open ( can’t even see through them). The front vents and vents above the brows are occluded with the padding which I don’t know how it keeps it cooled down. Only wide open vents are the 4 rear vents and the 2 under the visor sides.
How many impacts is the IXS Trigger FF?
How did you get the XL? Cant find them nowhere
I would really like to know what helmet has the softest liner material? Because that's how they protect your brain the harder the foam the less cushion when you need it, I always check by trying to push my fingertip into the EPS foam liner when I compare helmets.
Just came across this video! What other helmets do you recommend, at this time this helmet is sold out in my size
Can you do a review of the Fox rampage pro carbon helmet?
Can u use this one riding a Surron Light Bee bike?
Man, I really like your yellow and black helmet. Where can I buy that helmet the same as yours? As I check the link you gave under the description there isn't yellow color way. Thanks man. Nice video.
Thanks bro loving the review, just a question how accurate is the size guide ?
Based on the reviews I've read it's very accurate.
How many cm are your head for the size?
1 of April??
very interesting and valid arguments, anyway you should compare the coron to the d3 or d4 from tld not the stage
the stage and proframe aren’t in the same category, I 100% agree that the POC should be compared to the d3/d4
Great review. Question? What size is your helmet?
I got the XL/XXL. Pocs sizings are a little odd, definitely use the head measurements from their website, a lot of sellers just use a standard size chart.
Yeah the lightweight full frames look nice, great styling but I agree they are lightweight and lightweight in durability, if not protection as well.
Wow because of this review I’m getting my helmets at POC thank u
chelzhi i got mine couple days ago and rode with it 3 times in Florida heat and i have to say im impressed!!! Super comfy, great visibility and ventilation. Ordered one for my husband as well. Hope he will love it as much as I !!!
Thank you! I just hate the idea of false safety. Check around too because a few sites still had them on sale
I live in Cali and was really shocked with how cool it was compared to moto and track helmets. Hope you all have a blast riding!
@@litlikeacampfire7509 my helmet is arriving today I also ordered the new ORA CLARITy to go with it. My family and I ride our bike here in Las Vegas the dirt literally goes to my eye.
Men proframe and stage are trail full face helmets, chin protection than regular half is the only advantage . True DH helmets are over a kg
Hey man I was wondering what your head circumference is? Because I’m 58cm but I’m not sure if I should go for the XL-XXL or stay with the M-L
I went and measured my head as again as poc shows on there site, my head comes out to 59.2cm. Hope this helps!
Hi Christian, which size did you go with in the end? I have the same dilemma: 58cm melon and undecided between M/L and XL/XXL.
How strong is the visor due to wind resistance?
Fastest I've been with the helmet was just over 40mph and the visor stayed on no problem.
This is the exact reason why I enjoy poc. They bring it a step further. Expensive? Yes, but worth it, especially if you find a good discounted price. I have the ski poc helmet since ten years, and look forward to the coron for dh fun! How do you find the fit? And the breathability after some time of testing ?
Fit was good using the factory size guide and the fitment pads that are included, my head is ~60cm so I got an xl-xxl. It fits me great, I only added the extra rear neck pad. Breathability has been great, I've seen taken it on two XCish rides (just to see) in California with no problem, only thing is you drinking with the helmet on is a pain.
@@litlikeacampfire7509 thanks for the reply! As I don't do races I have no problem with stopping for a drink with the helmet off! cheers!
I ride urban mtb. Would you still not reccomend a full face?
If you ride urban DH, like in Chile, you at least need a full face. But if you ride urban from your house to some trails you don’t need a full face, unless you want to get into doing a lot of tricks.
I have a trolley stage and I have received multiple impact. And the helmet is still intact and it's not broken or anything. So I don't think that you must have EPP in all the helmet. Because my stage is still working properly and I'm still alive and taking and taking multiple impacts.
you should replace the helmet ASAP! After multiple impacts it is NOT SADE anymore!
The POC is for downhill
Fox And TLD are for everyday rides
The POC Coron is designed as a DH only helmet, the Coron Air is designed as a full face enduro helmet just like the Proframe and Stage, poor marketing maybe?? All of them meet the minimum DH certs, but all focus on different "important" factors for the user. I do feel the Coron Air is touch more downhill ready than the Proframe or Stage
I have the proframe and i use it on a daily basis and its very good
Was debating getting the fox proframe helmet or the TLD Stage but not anymore. This vid has for sure helped me narrow down what to get
What do you think about the weight of it？
GORDON C middle of the range, it is slightly heavier than the stage and proframe but lighter than a full on DH helmet, I forget what the spec is
is there any point of getting the carbon version
??
Jack Wrightson it depends what you want, benefits are: it’s CARBON FIBER, it weighs a little bit less. The downside when I purchased is that it was $240 more to get it in carbon fiber, the only reason I decided not too
I’m looking at the POC and the IXS Trigger FF. POC does seem better but more expensive.
I went for the IXS, best helmet I’ve owned so far!
What is that screen saver it’s sick
It's the YT Capra wallpaper, you can find it in there bike gallery
You still riding with this helmet? How was it?
I am still riding with it. I love the helmet for its use. When sitting still or slowly climbing it is warmer than the stage or program. POC has a newer full face as well, that is more comparable to the stage or proframe.
@@litlikeacampfire7509 cool man. Yeah I see they have the otocon which has bigger vents. I don't see any reviews so far about the helmet
As someone who rides in Arizona, there's no way that helmet has enough air flow to keep cool.
Congratulations, you didn't buy a lightweight fullface because you are riding gnarlier stuff than those were designed for - something that absolutely no one would have suggested you do in the first place, including Fox or TLD who have helmets for that too. Next up, "Why I don't ride in shorts when it's snowing". ;-) Good luck with your POC helmet! I've never used the Coron, but my Tectal Race Spin's (very expensive) pads unfortunately fell apart after a couple of months, and both the fit adjuster and the chin strap need constant tightening throughout a ride. The Spin pads in the Tectal seem to be exactly that - spin - and it's quite a hot helmet too. Overall, it's just another overpriced helmet and I'll try another brand next time. I suspect you'll find much of the same with the Coron.
I'm riding Tectal Race Spin for more than 6 months now and I've never needed to readjust it during ride. In fact, I set the fit adjuster once and that's it, everytime I put the helmet on, I only click the strap and tighten it and it stays like that for several hours. No need to readjust the fit adjuster and no need to retighten the strap during ride. So it seems there's some issue with yours.
Soooo I had the same problemw when choosing my helmet 6 months ago and was thinking about all of the three you mantioned. Finally i decided to buy POC with the same color as you. The helmet is realy comfortable and the breathable when going down the hill. When you stop or go up hill it is a pain to keep it on your head and not get it hot like a kettle. After that long time of using it i have to send it back to POC cause after few washes of inner lining it looks like a dog bite it. More over the air spin system in inside this lining and i lost one of the little couchin ... That system does not look like it can protect you from the side / low speed impact but is only there for comfort while wearing the helmet. This is not a quality of a premium helmet i would expect. I am really disapointed by this product. Probably will buy O'neal Blade this time TLD Stage.
Air Spin and the more common MIPS are a both a little odd, and sadly a lot of the testing the companies do is not public domain... Kinda worrisome. Both systems are not designed nor should they help protect you from impact. There only purpose is to slightly rotate so that the helmet does not suck and reduce “whip lash.” I too am displeased with how this helmet liner removes, the only helmet that I have that has a nice liner to wash is for snowboarding lol
I wouldn’t mind this one if I wasn’t in a tropical country
ALTERNATE TITLE (all jokes):
why I got a dh helmet rather than an enduro helmet for enduro riding.
Actually this helmet can be useful for both categories, ventilation in this helmet is incredibly comfortable
Wow i like itt he he i can not afford i am from the phillipines ..👍👊
Hate to brake it to you bud you dont really need a full face for what your doing great review tho
Lol it’s pretty hard to need this helmet right now with the bike parks and most the trailheads in my area all closed... unless I do something really stupid
Yeah but you can smash your face on a xc trail.....I did lol,put a hole through my face below my bottom lip,so you never know
@@bud1lite I have a few mates who got multiple bones broke on "rides" all of which happened in the parking lot for the trailhead , just shows you never know when or where lol
Never let anyone tell you you're wearing too many pads. I look at those people and see the family and job and life behind them that needs protecting.
@@litlikeacampfire7509 Yup! Way better to be more careful. Random people on the internet will not be the ones footing your hospital bills if anything happens. Thanks for the video!
