New POC Procen Air Helmet

Now the cat is really out of the bag, and available for purchase. I already have an Abus Gamechanger, and even that looks mildly mushroomy for my smaller skull. That being said, in the quest for aero, is looking dumb that bad for free speed?

Great we can look like Rick Moranis in Mel Brook's Spaceballs.

I wish I could wear a helmet with integrated visor without looking like a desperate try hard. This one doesn't even look bad.

doesn't the beard negate all aero benefits that come with purchase?

It disrupts airflow like dimples on a golf ball.

I hate it but I don't mind the idea of integrated helmet/visor but there's never been one that actually looks good.

If you need the speed and use it who cares what others think.
