Safety on the ski hill goes beyond protecting your head, and the OBEX Backcountry Spin Helmet by POC does just that and more. The inclusion of the NFC chip comes as part of POC’s whole-helmet approach to design, comfort, fit and performance, which includes SPIN (Shearing Pad INside), and their silicone pad technology system. Other features of this whole-helmet approach include the use of RECCO rescue reflectors to aid rescuers in their search for lost skiers. The helmet is compatible with the Obex Communication headset (sold separately) and is designed for seamless compatibility with POC goggles. Ventilation is fully adjustable and ear pads are removable, and a thicker PC shell compared to the Obex SPIN increases durability, making it ideal for backcountry adventures.
