The POC Obex BC MIPS is a ski helmet designed for riders who want reliable head protection on the slopes. It’s built to integrate the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) safety liner, which helps reduce rotational forces in case of a fall, and it comes with built-in ventilation to help manage airflow during active days on the mountain.
The helmet’s shell combines polycarbonate (PC) and ABS materials, offering a balance of strength and lightness without overcomplicating the build. Ventilation channels are built into the design, allowing warm air to escape and cooler air to flow in, which can help you stay more comfortable during long sessions. The inclusion of MIPS adds an extra level of impact management, giving you peace of mind when navigating varied terrain.
The PC & ABS construction means the outer shell resists scratches and impacts, while the integrated MIPS liner is a low-friction layer that reduces the rotational force transmitted to the brain in an angled impact. Weighing in at around 1.8 kg, it sits in the standard range for adult ski helmets, offering protection without feeling overly bulky.
