Snow Helmets
“Almost two decades ago, when we came into the snow scene, our ideas established a new vision for safety and protection. Then, as now, safety is the centerpiece of our development and decision-making, but we have always had the user and their needs right at the top of the development process. All our new season products are infused with our innovations, Scandinavian heritage, and inspiration.”

This includes the New Fornix and the Fornix BC
In the new collection is an updated and refined Fornix. The third iteration of the classic all-mountain helmet, the award-winning Fornix is renowned as an original influencer for skiers and snowboarders, having graced most slopes around the globe. It comes with an updated interior to further refine both fit and comfort. Specifically, the thicker padding around the helmet brim and crown provides a softer, more cushioned feel at the contact points between the helmet and the head. Alongside all the improvements to the Fornix, the stalwart of big mountain adventures, the Fornix BC (Back Country) has been been refined once more for enhanced comfort and fit, the new generation of Fornix BC features upgraded interiors in the same trusted classic silhouette. The new, updated Fornix also includes the highly influential Fornix POW JJ edition, which was created together with Protect Our Winters and POW founder, snowboard legend and POC athlete Jeremy Jones.

The new Obex Visor:
The Obex Visor provides panoramic vision and precise adjustability, all at your fingertips. With design details inspired by POC’s racing heritage, the new Obex Visor offers skiers and snowboarders the ideal blend of function and protection. The integrated lens with a frameless design maximizes the field of view. The helmet features a Clarity by POC™ lens technology for optimum vision in a range of light and snow conditions. A soft rubber edge at the top of the visor keeps the weather outside, and the helmet features a soft-close system with four-step adjustability and a three-layer foam that forms to the contours of your face for ultimate comfort.

The Apex Collection:
Inspired by high-performance competition and the focus on the details needed to excel at the leading edge of the sport, it’s a collection built around the Skull Dura Comp, Artic SL, Fornix, and Levator — a series of innovative models that have created their own unique space on the mountain. Alongside the Apex collection, the junior Blixten Collection is available for the younger racer looking to carve out their own distinctive place on the mountain. Featuring a lightning flash across the range of helmets, goggles, race suits, and jerseys, it’s a collection created to inspire and bring even more enjoyment to the mountains.

Colours:
A range of new colours for the season, including Apricot Sunstone, Bleu Blanc, Rouge Blanc, and Jaune Blanc.
