Discover the Innovation Behind POC Canada
How POC is Revolutionizing the Industry
What sets POC apart from other helmet brands is their commitment to safety and their willingness to challenge the status quo. Traditionally, the helmet industry has been focused on creating helmets that meet the minimum requirements for safety. However, POC has made it their mission to go above and beyond these minimum requirements, with the goal of reducing the severity of injuries in the event of a crash./p>
To do this, POC has adopted a multi-disciplinary approach that considers a variety of different factors that can contribute to head injuries. POC helmets are designed to not only protect against direct impacts, but also to protect against the shear forces that can result from glancing blows. By reducing the energy that is transferred to the head in the event of a crash, POC helmets are designed to reduce the severity of head injuries.
POC is also known for their commitment to using advanced materials to make their helmets as protective and lightweight as possible. POC helmets are available with a variety of different safety features including EPS, EPP, and M-FORGE, making them suitable for a variety of sports.
Why Choose a POC Helmet?
Award-Winning Design and Engineering
Since 2004, POC has been setting new standards in helmet design and engineering. The brand’s passion for pushing the limits in both skiing and cycling is evident in the quality of their products. POC helmets are designed to be lightweight, durable, and to provide the highest level of protection.
Safety Features That Stand Out
POC is known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to helmet safety. They were the first brand to market with a helmet featuring an NFC Medical ID Chip. The chip is embedded in the helmet and can be programmed with your medical information. In the event of a crash, this chip can be accessed by first responders to ensure that you receive the best possible care.
MIPS Technology
POC was one of the first brands to partner with MIPS to integrate their technology into their helmets. MIPS technology (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce the rotational forces that are experienced in certain impacts. By allowing the head to move independently of the helmet, MIPS technology can help to reduce the severity of rotational brain injuries.
