A: You can locate with gloves on but it's going to be much easier with them removed. Once you have a hang of it you should have no issue working the device with gloves on.

Q: Can I use this helmet for downhill as well as racing? I race every week but am free skiing a lot of the time and thought it would be cool to listen to music while I ski. Can you put a chin guard on the helmet? I am not a very serious racer but am racing for my school.
A: This helmet is not set up for racing, and will not allow for a chin guard to be attached. Best bet would be to get two separate helmets, one for each discipline.

A: POC makes great helmets and come highly recommended. The company knows how to make a helmet stylish, comfortable, and even tech savvy like this little gem. The beats headphones are going to offer the standard one year warranty all beats by dre products get. If you have any issues, you will warranty them through beats by dre, which is owned by Apple, so you can also go into an Apple retail store.

Q: Is it possible use to ride a bike? Is it the best choice for bike with sound?
A: This might not be the best choice for summer sports like riding a bike. This is a ski/snowboard helmet and will offer a bit more insulation and could become too warm when riding a bike.

Q: My head is 58-1/2 cm should I go with the large or the x-large?? Wasn't sure if POC helmets tended to run small or large. Thanks
A: The X-large would most likely be best for you, at the smallest setting you should have a snug and secure fit with the XL. All head shapes are different so you will want to allow yourself some time to try the helmet on before you need to use it.

Q: If you look at the 2 photos of the white and black helmets, the ear pieces are different with the beats logo on them. The black helmet has a mesh ear piece and the white helmet is solid fabric with no mesh. Is this correct?
A: The Hands Free control included with the POC Receptor BUG Communication audio helmet will allow for pause/play and answering calls without actually touching the phone.
