Helmet technology has evolved beyond simple impact protection. POC's Obex BC Spin incorporates SPIN (Shearing Pad INside) technology designed to reduce rotational forces during crashes.

SAFETY TECHNOLOGY

SPIN technology uses silicone pads inside the helmet that shear during angled impacts, reducing rotational forces transmitted to your brain. While no helmet prevents all injuries, SPIN represents a thoughtful approach to improved protection.

The helmet meets safety certifications including EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040.

FIT AND COMFORT

The Obex BC features adjustable fit system that accommodates various head shapes. Ventilation is excellent—even on warm spring days, airflow prevents overheating.

The helmet integrates well with most goggles, creating minimal gaps.

FEATURES

- Adjustable ventilation
- Goggle clip
- Removable ear pads
- RECCO reflector
- Fidlock magnetic buckle (easy one-hand operation)

WEIGHT

At 480g, the Obex BC sits in the mid-weight category—not the lightest but not heavy either.

DURABILITY

After a season including several impacts, the helmet shows normal wear. The shell is durable, and the SPIN pads maintain their integrity.

VALUE

At $200-250, the Obex BC costs more than basic helmets ($60-100). The SPIN technology and quality construction justify the premium for safety-conscious skiers.

Remember: helmet costs are trivial compared to medical bills or long-term brain injury consequences.

BOTTOM LINE

The POC Obex BC Spin offers advanced protection technology in a comfortable, well-designed package. The price is justified by safety features. Highly recommended.
