Born in Stockholm, POC is a global leader in safety and performance, dedicated to protecting athletes and anyone pushing their limits. Guided by data, research, and rigorous testing, every product begins with a problem to solve and is shaped by the principles of safety, performance, and design. The result: The POC Obex Connect ski helmet – the latest in cutting edge helmet technology.

The POC Obex Connect helmet is a state-of-the-art ski helmet that blends top-tier protection with modern tech. Its hybrid hard-shell construction uses a tougher exterior for durability and a softer interior EPS core to absorb impacts where it matters most. Adjustable airflow vents let you fine-tune your temperature, and the helmet comes equipped with MIPS for added rotational-impact protection. You also get a built-in RECCO reflector for search-and-rescue visibility and a TwiCEme medical chip that stores your essential medical info. Sure, it’s a feature you hope you’ll never need, but are really nice to have in case of an emergency. The fit system is fully adjustable, giving you that snug, confidence-boosting feel.  Check out their website for a size guide as they do fit a bit differently than other brands.  Better yet, support your local shop and test it out and buy it  there.

Obex Connect audio headset

Pair the helmet with the Obex Connect audio headset to level up the experience. It connects to your phone for music, calls, and voice-assistant access, and it features Mesh Connect—a VOX (voice-activated transmission) communication system that lets you talk hands-free with anyone else using a compatible setup. It’s perfect for skiing with kids, filming with friends, or just staying connected with your crew as you rip around the mountain.
