Description

The Obex MIPS features a hybrid shell, combining a PC (Polycarbonate) outer shell with an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) top shell. This unique construction strikes the ultimate balance between strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight feel. source: gearlimits.com 360-Degree Adjustable System Aside from that, the MTN Lab features a removable liner - and a lighter weight summer one as well - good ventilation and a custom dial system for a good fit. Another key feature is the headlamp fitting, so those alpine starts (and epic late finishes) can be done safely and without additional fuss.

2023. Its adaptable protection, adjustable ventilation, and top-notch features for comfort and safety make it a must-have for anyone serious about their snowboarding experience.

However, the real pub ammo is the Aramid Bridges integrated into the EPS foam that increase structural rigidity and ensure that any energy transmitted into the helmet is dissipated over the widest area possible. The POC Obex is very comfortable for all-day riding. We enjoyed riding in this helmet due to its lightweight and absent feel. The helmet fits a round, oval head shape the best. Those with long oval head shapes may find negative space in the upper lateral zones of the helmet. One tester has a long oval head and can move the shell from side to side a small distance within the gaps. To have an ideal fit, he needs to wear a thin beanie to add volume. If you have a long oval head, we recommend looking at a Giro or Smith model. It has a dial to adjust the harness and snug up the fit. This reduced but didn't fully remove the movement mentioned above. Overall, this helmet is quite comfortable, but a few design aspects negatively affect the score. Removable earpads and a ‘Passive Aggressive’ Venting system allow flexibility to suit the conditions, the latter automatically regulating temperature depending on your level of exertion. Meanwhile the slight brim is specifically designed to play nicely with Giro goggles. Similarly, it’ll also integrate with aftermarket Giro audio systems too.

Getting the right fit for your helmet is crucial for both comfort and safety. The Obex MIPS boasts an adjustable 360-degree fit system that allows you to customize the fit to your liking. No more fumbling with pads or liners – simply turn the dial and find your perfect fit. Adjustable Ventilation for Changing Weather Conditions Adjustable ventilation - Adjustable ventilation makes it possible to control airflow through the helmet, giving comfort across a broader range of temperatures. Needless to say, Atomic hasn’t let the side down on either the helmet or goggles front, serving up a ABS outer, Holo Core and 3M X-Static Lining for comfort and protection. There’s space for glasses underneath the vizor (another selling point), which is a Atomic photochromic lens with an Anti-Scratch Outer and Anti-fog Inner that adapts to light levels automatically. Finally, the audio compatible ear pads mean you get your favourite tunes too - what's not to like? Mips Evolve -The classic Mips Evolve Brain Protection System enhances rotational impact protection.

More widely, the Grid has the latest protection in the shape of MIPS Spherical technology, which allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner in the event of an accident, reducing rotational energy. Available in eight stylish, matt, colourways, there’s also a glove-friendly magnetic closure to minimise fumbling around. POC seamlessly marries durability with comfort and offers the ultimate balance of strength and coziness, ideal for all-day, all-mountain use. source: www.gearlimits.com Technical Specifications There’s a built-in RECCO Avalanche Rescue Reflector, which is an excellent idea, and even more techno, there’s a ‘twICEme’ NFC Medical ID chip, that’ll enable first responders to read your medical history immediately with a smartphone, even if you’re not up to talking. A final tech benefit is that the company’s Aid Communication Ear Pads (sold separately) are compatible, which allows a smartphone to be connected for easy access to communications - and tunes. The Obex ski helmet takes snow safety up several notches by adding a couple of extra layers of technology to the mix. There’s a MIPS system, as well as a clever hybrid shell design that blends a robust ABS top section with an EPS liner and stronger-than-steel aramid panels, all of which combine to keep weight down but protection high. Goggle Chimneys -Goggle chimneys allow heat from goggles to escape through the helmet, minimizing goggle steaming.

The fit of the helmet is fantastic. The 360-degree adjustment system ensures a snug and secure fit without any discomfort – it almost felt custom-made. And let’s not forget the style factor. The POC Obex MIPS is one good-looking helmet. It seamlessly matches with POC goggles, adding to the overall aesthetics of my snowboarding gear. Salomon have made a series of strong environmental statements with the MTN Lab helmet, not least using recycled materials in the build, as well as natural and biodegradable merino wool. Arguably the biggest sustainability play is the fact that the MTN Lab is rated for use for alpine, mountaineering and biking, making it something of an allrounder for mountain lovers. This potentially cuts waste from the multiple lids you’d otherwise need, as well as reduces faff when travelling. The removable ‘bombshell’ ear pads can be removed when temperatures rise, and the safety rating covers bike use too, making even more ethical and economic sense.

Did you know that the first modern snowboarding helmet was invented by a neurosurgeon who was passionate about snow sports safety? Talk about a brainy start to protecting our noggins! Stevan Blazin The Burning Question: Are POC Helmets Good? The women’s specific Terra helmet offers a low-profile design with top-tier safety and convenience built in. The Polycarbonate shell offers durability, and is paired with a MIPS system and a foam liner with a plush padded inner. Children are tough on clothes and accessories, so springing for durable quality is a sensible scheme, as well as the most sustainable one. The ABS hardshell of the Scout Jr. ski helmet will shrug off minor carelessness with aplomb, but the MIPS impact protection is present and ready to mitigate more serious incidents if required. The fit is designed to accommodate differently-sized (and growing) heads, and a whopping eight vents ensure ventilation is as good as possible.

Thanks to the EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner, which results in a helmet light as a feather, it not only makes it comfortable for all-day wear but also ensures that you won’t feel weighed down as you carve through fresh powder. It’s one of the lightest helmets I’ve ever put on. Maximum Protection with MIPS Technology When the sun is cranking up the heat and temperatures rise, you start feeling like you’re baking in an oven inside your helmet. What do you do? The POC Obex MIPS has these nifty, detachable ear pads, so you can give your helmet a breather, just like you would after conquering a mogul field. It’s like the helmet version of rolling up your sleeves on a hot summer day, keeping you cool and comfortable across a range of temperatures. And folks, the POC Obex MIPS shines like a beacon in the snowstorm. Let’s dive into what this all-day, all-mountain helmet has to offer.

Ever had your goggles fog up mid-ride? It’s a common snowboarder’s annoyance, but the Obex MIPS has a solution. Integrated goggle vents allow steam to escape, keeping your vision crystal clear. Plus, there’s a flexible clip at the rear of the helmet to keep your eyewear securely attached. Detachable Ear Pads for Extra Comfort Dual material shell -An outer PC shell featuring a top section of ABS gives the ultimate balance of strength and durability at a low weight. Arguably most importantly, a combination of a removable Polartec Power Grid liner and customisable ventilation ensures you stay fog-free and classy in most situations, as well as being able to close off ventilation when it gets too nippy. An active ventilation system is controlled via a button on the outside, allowing you to switch between open vents on hot climbs, and closed on windy summits. Finally, chimney vents sit above the goggle area, venting warm air away from the lenses and keeping them clear.
