Good fit for my oval shaped head but not many ...
Good fit for my oval shaped head but not many adjustments, I think it comes with spare MIPS pins so if you wreck it you can replace the pin and keep using. Works well with my Oakley canopy googles (large)

Perfect fit, great helmet
The price is a little steep, however workmanship and quality are excellent. It gives you the protection you need when skiing the back country.

Great Fit and MIPS Design but Missing a Ventilation Plug
Fits well and am happy to have a helmet with such forward thinking design with regards to MIPS but it was missing one of the two ventilation plugs when I received it. I was in touch with POC to send me the missing plug (which they were going to grab from another helmet) but I haven't heard back from them in a few weeks now. At this point I would be willing to just buy the plug. I didn't want to send it back (and pay for shipping) because of the missing plug but now I regret it.

Awesome essential back country attire
I ski back country on a regular basis during the season both solo and in small groups, we also climb and participate in a range of other actives when out, all of which require head protection. The POC is a replacement for an ageing Carrera helmet and was a significant upgrade to what I have been used to. The helmet is both lightweight and comfortable. It vents easily and is suitable for the full range of activities I undertake from skiing steep and deep to Kite Skiing to the occasional ice climbing ascent. I do mount a go pro on the helmet using the elastic strap harness and the configuration works well allowing us to capture some fantastic moments when out. I like the helmet which is both functional and fashionable. It is apparent that the R&D team have done a significant amount of work on the design of this helmet and it fits my head very well. It did take me a little while to finely tune the fitting but it is now like a second skin when I wear it and is hardly noticeable. Although I have not needed to test its bump characteristics yet it looks well made and more than capable of delivering should it be called upon to do so the sort of protection one would expect from a high end product of this nature.I have recommended this helmet to a number of my ski buddies all of whom have succumb and bought the same model, and we are in universal agreement that this is an exceptional item of protection.

Fantastic and Comfy
Fabulous helmet, Great service.So comfy, seems to have been made to fit an actual normal shaped head. The increase protection around the back and side of the head is reassuring as they obviously know what they're doing.
