POC Obex Back Country MIPS Helmet

With enhanced functionality specifically for the backcountry, the OBEX BC Mips gives durability and security on your adventures.

The ski helmet that can speak for you when you can’t. The Obex BC Mips is designed for enhanced traceability and durability in the backcountry. Updated this year to include Mips, the helmet features an NFC medical ID chip so rescuers can access vital medical information at the scene of an injury, helping them make the best judgments for treatment in the vital “golden hour” immediately after an accident. A RECCO® reflector enhances searchability. A thicker polycarbonate shell compared to the Obex Mips gives greater durability. The helmet is compatible with the Obex Communication headset and is designed for a seamless fit with POC goggles. Fully adjustable ventilation and removable ear pads ensure user comfort.
