Shopping for a new helmet and am looking at the POC stuff, but I can't tell exactly what the differences are.
I was running an Oneal 909 MX helmet that recently sacrificed itself to save me from serious injury; I still got KTFO'd and ended up with a slight concussion but it could have been much worse.
Anyway, the POC Cortex DH has that MIPS tech that's supposed to help reduce concussions but it's not clear whether the Cortex Flow has it, as well. Their website is unclear. Anybody have any information on these?

Giro remedy (snowboard helmet)
POC cortex flow
Bell bellistic
THE helmet (not sure which model, not mine)
POC is the biggest of the bunch, just slightly more room than the Remedy. But the Remedy has the chin guard closer to the mouth (snowboard helmet). Bell is tighter in the upper jaw. THE helmet is too tight all over for me. 59cm around the temples, roundish head, big jaw I guess. all helmets are L/XL.
I have a huge head and the fitment is perfect. The helmet came with
a second set of cheek pads, upper and rear inserts, that allow you to
tailor the fit to your head.
How's the fit with the Leatt? Do you have any experience with other helmets and the Leatt for comparison. I'm looking at replacing my Fox Rampage and the Cortex DH and TLD D3 are on my short list. I really like the fact that the D3 is specifically designed to work with a Leatt. I'd like to have just a bit more range of motion looking down the trail especially on steep terrain. I know that POC is not much of a believer in the Leatt, so I'm wondering how compatible their helmets are.
I just put in the order yesterday and should receive everything within the next week or so. I'll post pictures of the gear and some initial impressions when it comes in.

I am about to buy one POC Cortex Flow, but I am not sure which size to get, I normally use a sized M 661 Evo, and it fits me great, I meassured my head and it is between 57 -58 cm somewhere.
Does the helmet get loose with the use?? so I should go for a POC M? or should I go for the L/X??
I want one of these, and I found a nice offer, but I am not sure which sizing I should go for, S/M or L/XL, I measured my head and it is somewhere between 57-58cm. I normally ride a sized M 661 Evo.
So I am wondering, does the POC get a bit loose with the use to get a M. or Should I go for the L size?
