Featherlight. Mountain-ready. Ultra-ventilated. The Cytal Lite is POC’s lightest helmet yet—designed for climbers, heat seekers, and riders who count every gram. Weighing in under 200g, this helmet balances minimalist construction with uncompromising protection and ventilation.

Stripped to the essentials, it features a low-density EPS liner, an in-mold PC shell scaled back for weight savings, and a uniquely open front pad design to keep air flowing across your forehead. Every detail—from the integrated wing to the slim adjustment system—was engineered for one goal: less weight, more performance.

Whether you're ascending alpine passes or riding through brutal summer heat, the Cytal Lite delivers a barely-there feel with pro-level safety.

How to measure my size?
Helmet sizes are based on head circumference. Measure your size by wrapping a measuring tape snugly around the widest possible circumference - from the most prominent part of the forehead (often 1-2 fingers above the eyebrow) around to the widest part of the back of your head. Measure 3 times, and take the largest number. Using the chart above, select your size.
