POC are known as one of the leaders when it comes to safety and innovation in helmet technology and with the Fornix, it is easy to see why. The in-mould construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell to an impact-absorbing EPS foam creating a helmet that is lightweight and comfortable to wear. What's unique are the Aramid Bridges integrated into the EPS foam; often used in the aerospace and military industry, they add structural strength to the helmet and help dissipate energy from an impact over a larger surface area. To further increase safety POC have added MIPS, a low-friction layer that sits between the liner and shell enabling a small amount of movement between them; in the event of an angled impact or fall, this movement helps to re-direct energy away from the head. The active ventilation is highly adjustable by sliding a button on the outer shell; keep the vents closed for cold conditions or open them right up for warm days and hiking in the backcountry. Chimney vents sit above the goggle area drawing hot air away and helping to keep lenses clear from fogging. The discreet size adjuster provides a tailored, secure fit by simply twisting the dial at the rear, and a clip at the back of the helmet keeps goggles securely in place.

MIPS HELMET TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) MIPS is not a construction as such but a safety feature integrated into the build. MIPS reduces rotational forces on the brain caused by angled impacts to the head. In a MIPS helmet the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, absorbing much of the energy.
