Consider that your backstop, with equivalent certifications in place in different regions of the world. For more details about this helmet, take a look at our POC Ventral Tempus SPIN review. The two helmets share everything except for a change to a version of MIPS that is incredibly close to the previous SPIN technology. That means you start with a reasonable, though not quite budget, price. You also get the unobtrusive MIPS Integra rotational impact tech and a style that does a great job of being adaptable for whatever bike you match it with. The POC Omne Ultra MIPS then adds a strip of Velcro in the back with a buckle and strap with attachment points.
It’s notable for narrowly missing the top spot on the Virginia Tech testing list and the rear cradle provides nearly as much stability as the Kask Elemento. On the negative side of things, it is a bit heavy but really the only issue is the design shared with the Aero 2Vi. Because the two are exactly the same minus some magnetic vent covers, the Falconer 2Vi is really more of an aero helmet.
If you match the style of helmet to the style of the rest of your gear you will almost always end up with exactly what you need. Outside of sizing, you might want to consider the vertical adjustability of the rear cradle. I generally prefer the rear genesis bicycles cradle down lower to feel more locked into the helmet. Most brands allow easy adjustment but some don’t and it’s something to think about. With safety out of the way, you will want to focus on comfort but that can mean a few different things.
Unfortunately, POC doesn’t seem to have submitted the latest version of the Omne Air, now with MIPS instead of SPIN, to Virginia Tech for testing. It also seems like the Omne Ultra MIPS would be the perfect helmet to have extra high-friction pads to keep sunglasses in place when stowed on the helmet. Super light and fast enough to compete aerodynamically with a full TT helmet while still retaining excellent breathability.

The effect is that of disbelief when held in your hand and it comes in partnership with an innovative rear cradle design that likely contributes to the low weight. Instead of using plastic connections to the front, Trek has gone with only thin string. Not only does it help lower the weight but it also means the rear cradle folds flat for ease of storage and travel. Despite the low-volume design, weight does seem to have added up a bit. The size small Prevail 3 I tested came in at about 10 grams over my copy of the Giro Aries. 10 grams is, admittedly, not much but the Giro is a larger size as well.
