Product description

Ski helmet POC Fornix MIPS bixten white (10412)

POC Fornix MIPS Bixten White Ski Helmet is the perfect solution for winter sports enthusiasts seeking safety and comfort. Thanks to its hybrid construction, the helmet combines durability with lightness, providing reliable protection while skiing. The polycarbonate shell ensures impact resistance, while the inner polystyrene (EPS) layer effectively absorbs energy during potential collisions.

Mips® – advanced protection technology

The POC Fornix MIPS Bixten White ski helmet is equipped with advanced Mips® technology. This system significantly enhances head protection by minimising rotational forces during impacts. As a result, the user can feel even safer during dynamic descents, which is especially important in challenging mountain conditions.

Comfort and fit

The POC Fornix MIPS Bixten White ski helmet offers a high level of comfort thanks to its ergonomic shape and soft ear pads. The 360° adjustment system allows precise fitting to the shape of the head, increasing comfort even during long days on the slopes. The buckle is easy to operate, enabling quick putting on and taking off of the helmet.

Active ventilation and safety certifications

One of the key features of the POC Fornix MIPS Bixten White ski helmet is active ventilation, which ensures optimal airflow, maintaining the right temperature inside the helmet. This allows the user to enjoy comfort even on warmer days. The helmet holds CE EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040 certifications, confirming its compliance with international safety standards.

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.

Hybrid design

The hybrid construction combines the advantages of in mould construction and hardshell construction. Part of the helmet has a hard shell and the rest is covered with lighter foam, making the helmet weigh less.

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.

ABS shell

The shell is made of a synthetic polymer that is highly scratch-resistant and characterised by high hardness and strength. It is also characterised by high resistance to deformation.

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.

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®

Multidirectional Impact Protection System - A common impact protection system used in helmets. Its purpose is to protect against the rotational movement that occurs during a severe impact. MIPS absorbs the first shock, minimising the risk of brain damage.
