The POC Obex Contour Ski Helmet: All-Mountain Protection and Everyday Comfort
Designed for all-mountain skiing, the POC Obex Contour is aimed at skiers—both men and women—who are looking for reliable gear across the entire ski area, from groomed runs to varied terrain. Its sleek design combines proven materials with modern protection technologies, resulting in a helmet that meets both technical requirements and everyday comfort needs. Unisex and available in three sizes, it fits naturally into a regular mountain lifestyle.
Construction and Protection: A Design Built for Impact
The shell of the POC Obex Contour is made of polycarbonate, a material known for its impact resistance while remaining lightweight. The EPS (expanded polystyrene) inner liner absorbs energy during an impact, complementing the role of the outer shell. This helmet also features Mips® Evolve technology, a system that protects against rotational impacts: during an oblique impact, this system allows the shell to slide slightly relative to the head, reducing the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. The helmet is certified to EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040, two industry-standard certifications that attest to a level of protection validated by standardized testing. Its weight of 480 g (in size M/L) is consistent with this level of protection.
Fit and Comfort: A Custom Fit for Every Head Shape
The POC Obex Contour features a 360° adjustment system that allows for precise head circumference adjustment, ensuring a stable and personalized fit without pressure points. The ear pads are removable, which makes maintenance easier and allows you to adapt the helmet to different conditions or preferences. The helmet is also compatible with the dedicated POC communication headset—a useful option for skiers who want to stay connected on the slopes.
Ventilation and goggle compatibility: integrated thermal management
Integrated ventilation channels ensure consistent airflow inside the helmet, limiting heat buildup during physical activity. For ski goggle wearers, the helmet features specific vents that promote moisture wicking and reduce the risk of fogging on the lenses. A ski goggle clip is also built-in, allowing you to securely attach your goggles to the helmet while riding the lifts or taking breaks.
Versatile and well-equipped, the POC Obex Contour ski helmet is ideal for skiers and snowboarders who regularly hit the mountains—whether on the slopes or in varied terrain—and who want gear that combines certified protection, a comfortable fit, and compatibility with their usual accessories.
