Aramid In-Mold Helmets |
An in-mold helmet construction is very lightweight, but lacks penetration resistance due to the thin shell. By molding a sheet of aramid to the core, the low weight is maintained while the protection is radically improved. (Synapsis) |
|
|
Aramid Bridges |
By molding aramid bridges to the core of the helmet, the impact forces are spread over a larger surface. At the same time, the helmet gains structural stability through the bonding of the unbreakable aramid weave and the EPS liner which allows for a very lightweight helmet with a high level of protection. (Fornix - Communication and MIPS) |
|
|
VDSAP |
POC's patented Ventilated Double Shell Anti-Penetration is built on two ventilated shells that are placed offset for maximum protection against penetration form sharp objects, while maintaining good airflow and ventilation. (Receptor - Adjustable, MIPS, Communication) |
|
|
MIPS |
Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Used to reduce the rotational forces of the brain in the case of oblique impact. A normal helmet is created to absorb vertical impacts efficiently, not rotational forces. The MIPS system absorbs rotational forces by allowing a small rotation of the out shell relative to the liner. (Fornix, Receptor, Cortex) |
|
|
Super Ventilated Helmets |
Adjustable and optimized for ventilation depending on conditions. Combination of goggle vents, chimney vents, VDSAP, and adjustable vents makes helmets very ventilated. (Fornix, Frontal, Auric) |
|
|
Multi-Impact Helmets |
Most helmets today have liners made of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), a great shock absorbing material, but will be permanently compressed under impact. POC uses multi-impact EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) as core material that creates a helmet that will protect under repeated impact. (All helmets) |
|
|
Multi-Impact Deflector Panel |
Worn out front panels from impacts with gates lead to the creation of the Multi-Impact Deflector Panel. Panel decreases the transmitted force of the impact and increases the shock absorption. Panel is made of multi-impact EPP material. (Skull Orbic - Comp, X, MIPS) |
|

JetForce allows for multiple deployments. Fan cycles for 3 minutes and can create an air pocket. Unlimited air supply means it can maintain shape despite small tears or punctures. Battery functions at -30 C. |
|
|
