Product description

Ski helmet POC Fornix MIPS blixten blue matt (10412)

POC Fornix MIPS ski helmet blixten blue matt is an excellent choice for winter sports enthusiasts who value safety and comfort. The helmet’s hybrid construction provides optimal protection by combining the durability of a polycarbonate shell with an inner layer of polystyrene (EPS). Thanks to the use of ABS material, the helmet offers high impact resistance, making it reliable during intense use on the slopes.

Advanced Mips® technology

The POC Fornix MIPS ski helmet blixten blue matt is equipped with Mips® technology, which enhances head protection in the event of angled impacts. This system allows for slight movement of the shell relative to the head, thereby reducing rotational forces acting on the brain. As a result, users can enjoy increased peace of mind while skiing or snowboarding.

Comfort of use

The POC Fornix MIPS ski helmet blixten blue matt features a 360° dial size adjustment, allowing for a perfect fit to the shape of the head. Its ergonomic design and soft ear pads further enhance wearing comfort, providing warmth and convenience even during long days on the slopes. Active ventilation enables optimal temperature management inside the helmet, preventing overheating of the head.

High safety standards

The POC Fornix MIPS ski helmet blixten blue matt meets the safety certification requirements of EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040, confirming its high quality and reliability. The buckle fastening ensures a secure and quick closure, which is crucial in emergency situations. Thanks to these features, the POC Fornix MIPS blixten blue matt helmet is the ideal choice for any skier who demands the highest standards of protection.

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.
