Product description

Ski helmet POC Fornix MIPS uranium black matt (10476)

POC Fornix MIPS is a ski helmet that sets new standards in safety and performance. Its advanced technological solutions and unique design make it the choice of many winter sports enthusiasts.

Innovation in the POC Fornix MIPS starts with the MIPS system. This system allows the helmet to move 10-15mm upon impact, significantly reducing rotational forces acting on the head. This is a key element in providing additional protection in the event of a fall.

Another important feature of the helmet is the refined internal shape, which ensures a more comfortable fit. This update makes the helmet not only safe but also comfortable even during prolonged use.

The updated PC shell (polycarbonate) covers the edges of the helmet, providing additional protection. The improved size adjustment system allows every user to easily and quickly find the perfect fit, which is crucial for safety and comfort. The helmet is equipped with a removable and washable liner, ensuring easy hygiene maintenance and wearing comfort.

Advantages

Impact protection

Skiing is classified as a high-risk sport, which means that the greatest possible protection is required during skiing. The helmet offers impact protection, which increases the user[s safety on the slopes.

PC shell

The shell is made of durable polycarbonate. It is a durable and abrasion- and impact-resistant material, characterised by its low weight. It is able to dissipate more impact force than thermoplastic and is relatively cheap to produce, resulting in a more attractive helmet price.

Active ventilation

The active ventilation system allows the airflow to be individually controlled to suit current needs. Thanks to this solution, excess warm air and moisture will be vented to the outside, without being exposed to excessive cooling.

Ergonomic design

The ergonomic shape ensures a high level of comfort when skiing. This helmet design allows undisturbed airflow, which also improves ventilation inside the shell.

EN 1077 certification

This is a European safety certificate which certifies that the helmet has passed crash and point tests. The first part of the test determines the maximum force that can act on the helmet during a collision, checking absorption through deformation, while the second tests the strength of the shell during point impacts, such as with a ski pole.

Buckle fastening

The chin strap uses a classic buckle fastening. It is easy to use, but fastening and unfastening it can be problematic with winter gloves. It will work well with helmets designed for slightly older children.

Soft ear muffs

Soft ear muffs are a different helmet design with ear muffs that are not overlapped by the helmet shell. They are extremely soft and protect the ears from the cold without interfering with sound reception. They do not, however, provide protection against injuries that may occur in the event of an accident.

EPS inner shell

Under the outer, impact-resistant shell, there is an inner layer made of polystyrene. It has a varying density and its main function is to absorb the force of impact during an accident. It provides a good level of safety.

In-mould construction

This construction mainly combines different types of in mould foam of different hardnesses. These layers are closely linked to the outer layer of material, which is much harder. This construction makes the helmet extremely lightweight.

Adjustment of size by means of a dial

A classic adjustment system that allows the helmet to be precisely adjusted to the circumference of the head. Using the rotary knob, the helmet can be easily and quickly increased or decreased in several sizes. The correct fit of the helmet increases safety when riding.

ASTM F2040 certification

This is an American safety standard, more stringent than the European CE 1077 ECC standard. The test involves dropping the helmet on three types of impact anvils at different speeds. However, point tests and chin strap tests are omitted. A helmet with this certification ensures safety during a crash.

Technologies

MIPS® Evolve

The Mips Evolve reduces the rotational force acting on the head during accidents and rotational impacts. It interacts with the ventilation channels and padding to ensure a high level of comfort in addition to safety.
