POC ski helmets - all-round protection with style

POC ski helmets combine uncompromising protection with clear design and smart details. The Swedish brand stands for safety at the highest level - from all-mountain use to racing. At XSPO you will find the well-known POC lines including technologies such as mips, aramid reinforcements, RECCO and twICEme for a quick, sensible selection.

POC in a nutshell: From Stockholm to the summits of the world

POC was founded in Sweden in 2004 with the mission to protect lives and reduce the consequences of accidents. The brand is known for data-driven development and intensive testing. POC was acquired by Black Diamond in 2012 and Investcorp took over the company in 2015. Today, POC is established worldwide for ski and bike helmets and protectors.

How to find your POC ski helmet

  1. Define use: Piste, backcountry, freeride or race. Obex Pure/Mips is suitable for versatility, Obex BC Mips for off-piste and Skull Dura for racing.
  2. Select protection technology: Mips for additional protection in the event of angled impacts; with Race, additional VPD deflector against gate contact.
  3. Understanding the structure: EPS for lightweight construction; with Fornix, aramid bridges increase the penetration resistance.
  4. Check the fit: use the 360 degree fit system; the helmet must fit snugly all round, without pressure points.
  5. Weigh up the features: For touring, RECCO and twICEme in the Obex BC Mips; for racing, Race Lock and optional chin bar.
  6. Check standards: For races, pay attention to FIS RH 2013; POC ski helmets generally fulfil the current regional standards.
  7. Test goggle compatibility: ventilated goggle chimneys help to wick away moisture, e.g. on the Fornix.

At XSPO, you benefit from a large selection of brands and a clear sorting by use and technology. You'll find POC ski helmets that are functionally ideal for your requirements.
