The POC Arcus Ski Helmet: Precision and Versatility on Any Terrain
Designed for skiers who demand both performance and adaptability, the POC Arcus embodies a competition-inspired all-terrain approach. Its hybrid construction combines durability and lightness to meet the demands of the mountains, whether on groomed runs or varied terrain. With a size range from 51 to 62 cm and a unisex design, it appeals to a wide range of skiers. This helmet’s promise lies in the integration of advanced protection technologies and a precise, comfortable fit, ensuring a confident day on the slopes.
A hybrid construction designed to absorb impacts
The POC Arcus ski helmet features a hybrid construction that combines an ABS lower shell and an in-mold polycarbonate upper shell, with an EPS inner liner. The ABS provides mechanical resistance to direct impacts, while the in-mold technology allows the outer shell to be directly bonded to the EPS foam, reducing the overall weight of the helmet. The helmet is certified to EN 1077 Class B, ASTM F2040, and ISO 18527-1, confirming its compliance with recognized safety standards for ski and snowboard helmets. MIPS Air Node technology incorporates a low-friction layer between the shell and the head, designed to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during oblique impacts—a common type of impact on the slopes. This system does not eliminate the risk of injury but helps to limit its effects.
Precise Fit and Comfort in All Conditions
The POC Arcus’s ergonomic design is tailored to adapt to each skier’s head shape. The BOA adjustment system allows for flexible, evenly distributed tightening around the head, reducing the localized pressure points often felt with traditional ratchet systems. The chin strap uses a Fidlock HOOK 20 buckle, whose magnetic mechanism makes it easy to open and close, even while wearing thick gloves. The ear pads are removable, allowing you to customize the helmet based on temperature or personal preference.
Adjustable ventilation and goggle compatibility
Thermal management is provided by a three-stage adjustable ventilation system with magnetic controls. This mechanism can be operated while wearing gloves, which is a practical advantage in cold conditions or during rapid changes in activity level on the slopes. For compatibility with eyewear, the POC Arcus ski helmet features vents for ski goggles as well as a dedicated clip, ensuring a secure fit for the goggles and a seamless interface between the two pieces of equipment.
Versatile by design, the POC Arcus is ideal for skiers who tackle a variety of terrain and want a helmet that combines certified protection, a precise fit, and everyday practicality on the mountain.
