I kinda like the direction POC is taking with their helmets. And the fact that they're not ugly as fek helps.

To be clear, the ICEdot beacon is not included, just provided for. I just broke my Las Victory, which I loved, in a crash and I'm ordering one of the orange Octals as soon as they're out. Art's just changed expected delivery from March to May :-(

Awesome Fixed as I'm concerned about being out and about alone with others away.
But the kicker for me is cell phone coverage. I usually don't have that so I'm sol I guess.
Nice setup.

If you believe the NPR story below in which the author claims that only about 20% of adult Swedes wear helmets, it makes you wonder which market(s) POC is targeting.

Serious piece of technology for those, "I've fallen and I can't get up" moments. Interesting, likely overkill, but...

I like the approach and their thinking.
