POC helmets are one of the most protective helmets available on the market and are fast becoming the popular helmet to be seen wearing. Whether you're a racer, a free-skier, or even a skier-cross skier, this is definitely the ultimate helmet for you. If you spend long days in the mountains during a long season of skiing, you need an ultra-comfortable and ultra-modern helmet with the very latest technology and the right details. In POC's Skull X Helmet, great efforts have gone into developing a helmet with excellent ventilation, comfort and safety, with a thinner shell using a stainless steel fencing-mask mesh over the ventilation to prevent penetration. The various pads of POC’s ‘snug fit’ system give you the feeling of a tailored fit. Matching Iris Comp goggles are also available.
POC has worked intensively with leading experts to understand every detail of how a helmet should be constructed. All of this has been with main objective of giving you far better protection than ever before. We have combined our unique multi-layer shell with our patented Aramid membrane penetration barrier and with our "snug fit" system of an inner core with extra pads. The result is an attractive looking helmet with outstanding protective properties that also fits perfectly, with a secure grip but no pinching.
Safety advantages of POC helmets:
1 Less bouncing off the ground in a fall
2 Higher penetration resistance
3 Better energy absorption properties
4 Better fit
5 Lower weight
POC Helmet Technical Features:
Outer Shell - Thin ABS injected shell, which collapses on impact. This gives a cushioning effect, which reduces bounce, decreasing brain and neck damage. Makes the helmet more compact and lighter.
Core - EPS core.
Aramid Mesh - The un-laminated Aramid Mesh (used for fencing masks) between the shell and the EPS core prevents penetration through the Outer Shell, without loosing the cushioning properties.
LD Foam Lining - Customizable lining system makes the helmet more comfortable.
Chinguard Facility - Pre-drilled to take a chinguard.
Weight - 510grams
