58cm is an L, but POC do fit pretty snug, you might need an XL. Sizing is L = 57-58cm, XL =59-60cm.
I'm an XL in a Giro and a XXL in a POC and the POC is tighter than the Giro.

Roughneck, Don't buy without trying for sure. POC are very unforgiving, they either fit or they don't.

Agree with Spyderman. Fan of POC as they can take a knock, tried on a Frontal at the ski show in XL (60cm coconut to cover) and it was like putting a vice around my head, however the Skull light was fine, managed to pick one up in the sales from ski bartlett, v. happy with it.

Richard_Sideways, I've got a Skull Light too 61-62cm XXL for me and it's a tight fit. Superb helmet.

Spyderman, yep, defo worth the extra in my book, much better than any lid i've owned before. All previous ones got unpleasently sweaty (and nobody likes a sweaty helmet) with wear, but the POC seems to have great ventilation, warm but allows your bonce to breathe.

If you're in the market for POC, then Sweet helmets also worth a look. Most comfortable helmet I've owned.

The search for a helmet to fit my rather oval head ended up with me buying a POC Receptor Bug a couple of months ago. My head's 59.5cm and the XL (59-60cm) fits perfectly - and very comfortable it is too.

So which one to go for? Frontal, Receptor Bug or the scull light. chain reaction cycles have some good deals at the moment. Any one know of any more sales. Its going to be an expensive month. I need some new snowboard boots and goggles. What are Poc goggles like?

Roughneck, I bought my POC Frontal online last summer from Ski Conrad in Germany, tried it on over here and got a great deal there so imported it. I was M in Giro, and had had 2 and fancied a change. POC only do 2 sizes S/M and L/XL. The S/M was far too small, L is great. Best helmet I've had, was initially worried about venting (I run hot) but not a problem, goes great with my Oakley A-Frames. Highly recommended, as are Sport Conrad, 48 hour FOC delivery.

Don't know much about POC. Their helmets look quite distinctive though. Do they have special safety features, how do they compare to the other brands?

Stands for Piece Of Cr**. 
Scandi design, expensive racer sponsorship programme, being cool, probably at the top end of relevant standards (Although this is pure supposition), certainly got their marketing right like Norrona etc.

I like them because some of their helmets are lightweight and low profile. I stick with POC goggles because they work nicely with POC helmets.

Closest comparison is Sweet. POC helmets use a hard outer shell with minimal thickness absorption layer, unlike Giro for example which has a thick polystyrene layer and a thin outer covering.
POC/Sweet are closer to a Motorsport design in the way they dissipate energy. than helmet derived from cycle technology.
