POC Fornix Mips

A versatile helmet designed for optimal protection and comfort while biking, skiing, and snowboarding, featuring adjustable ventilation.

The Fornix Mips from POC is the ideal companion for anyone who prioritizes safety and comfort while cycling, skiing, freeskiing, or snowboarding. The helmet stands out for its versatile features, which guarantee optimal protection and a comfortable fit. Thanks to the adjustable ventilation, the airflow inside the helmet can be customized, which is particularly advantageous in changing weather conditions. The precisely calibrated goggle ventilation channels prevent your ski goggles from fogging up and ensure clear vision.
The sturdy polycarbonate outer shell, combined with the EPS inner shell, provides excellent impact protection while keeping the weight to a minimum. The aramid bridges reinforce the helmet’s structure and offer additional protection against penetrating objects. The 360° adjustment system ensures an optimal fit and allows for easy adjustment without changing the padding. A fixed goggle clip at the back of the head securely holds the ski goggles in place.
A standout feature of the Fornix Mips is the integrated Mips® system, which offers additional protection against rotational impacts. The flexible ear pads can be removed as needed, providing extra comfort—especially on warmer days. The Fornix Mips is therefore not just a protective helmet, but a well-designed accessory that ensures safety and comfort during any activity.

Our tip

POC Fornix Mips

Aramid and air control

EN 1077 Class B; ASTM F2040 | Polycarbonate and EPS with aramid bridges | adjustable

The essentials

A good fit if you want to adjust the ventilation to the ski day
A good fit if you want to ski without ear pads when needed
Less so if you need a helmet approved for cycling as well: a cycling standard is not documented here.

What is it for?

Our take

In the Fornix Mips, aramid bridges complement the polycarbonate and EPS shell. It suits you if you want to regulate airflow and ski with uncovered ears in warm weather: the ventilation is adjustable and the flexible ear pads are removable.
