POC helmet color fade
Hi all,
I have a POC Octal fluorescent yellow helmet that suffered from severe sunlight color fading. I'm interested in the new Ventral Air Spin. Does anyone know if their orange color helmet fade? If yes I'll probably go with a white one.

Yellow is notorious for fading. Red turns pink. Orange gets more.. orange.
I don't care, myself. I'm strongly colourblind so they all look off-colour and faded anyway.
But I'd suggest that if you have enough UV damage on your hat to cause such heavy fading, then the structure of the materials is likely UV degraded to a degree anyway.
