{"product_id":"poc-cytal-carbon-cycling-helmet","title":"Poc Cytal Carbon Cycling Helmet","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing production methods currently only seen on luxury sports cars, POC has integrated a carbon wing into the helmet, enhancing its aero properties, keeping weight low and supporting more even impact force distribution across the whole helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction of new modelling and simulation methods during the design process opened up new possibilities to test designs and push what is possible in a helmet, in terms of balancing speed, safety and performance. The result: a new approach to what keeps you safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet is more open at the front, improving air entry into the helmet for better ventilation and reduced drag. An adjustment system spanning from the temples and around the back of the head makes it easy to find a secure and comfortable
