Hi all, does anyone have one??
Ive tried one on, great fit, I like the look, but was wondering if anyone here has one and if so how you find it? do you have any hot head syndrome etc?
Cheers in advance

I wanted one, but due to the bizarre POC sizing on this model, it did not fit. The largest size is the L-XL, which is only 60cm, which is M-L for most manufacturers. The MIPS insert further reduces the size.
Don't forget that the helmet is non-adjustable, there are pads, but no retention system, so no quick adjustment for a helmet liner for example. This helmet is also sold as a bike helmet, so the airflow/cooling must be pretty good.
I ended up with the POC Fornix Backcountry MIPS, as it was the only MIPS helmet I could find that fitted. On this model the XXL goes up to 62cm, and has an adjustable retention system. I find the cooling fine, but this model has adjustable venting, which the Receptor Backcountry does not.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've always been a sufferer of HHS. I leaked like a sieve in my first two helmets, bought a POC Skull lite and FOOM! problem gone. They look like they'd have rubbish venting, almost no holes, but because the air is channeled through the helmet and out the back, all the hot sweatiness is blown through the back. Never too hot, never too cold. Goldilocks.

Thats exactly what I want to hear! 
I currently have a Ruroc, which I LOVE (sod off anyone who says otherwise hehe), great for on piste, fantastic vision and the face piece keeps me warm and dry in blizzards and at speed. Only problem is found was when off piste you work harder, ski a little slower and on those walks, its like being in a steam room - The only way not to sweat so much and steam up is to faf around removing the face piece.
