2027 POC Arcus Ski Helmet

Inspired by the uncompromising attitude of race helmets, Arcus redefines what snow protection can be. Built for skiers who chase speed and precision, it balances race-ready performance with freeride versatility.

Born from the precision of race helmets, Arcus is made for riders with a race attitude - where the speed and terrain demand total confidence.

Its hybrid construction combines a defined ABS lower shell with a finely sculpted PC in-mould top for strength, lightness, and balance. The form is sharper and more complex, with lines that reflect a freeride attitude.

Ventilation is engineered for long ascents and fast descents. Front, side and rear vents keep you cool, and two large top vents protected by foam cassettes keep air flowing freely while filtering out snow and moisture. A central channel with a magnetic three-step adjustment allows seamless control, even with gloves on.

One of the first snow helmets to do so, Arcus utilises the new BOA® fit system for a more flexible, evenly distributed adjustment, reducing pressure points and improving comfort on long days in the backcountry.

Inside, the helmet features the Mips® Air Node, the lightest, most advanced rotational impact protection system yet, debuting here in a snow helmet for the first time.

Semi-radiant ear pads click securely into the structure, while a back-neck extrusion, inspired by hockey helmets, extends coverage where it counts.

The result is a helmet shaped by the demands of freeride and backcountry performance - lightweight, exceptionally ventilated, and built for complete confidence in the mountains.

ASTM 2040

ASTM F2040 is the American standard for snow sports helmets, covering alpine skiing and snowboarding. Helmets are independently tested across a range of performance criteria, including how effectively the helmet absorbs and reduces impact force, how securely the retention system holds the helmet in place during an impact, and overall stability of fit to ensure they meet defined safety requirements.

EN 1077B

EN 1077 Class B is the standard classification under the European certification for alpine ski and snowboard helmets. Class B helmets are tested for impact absorption and retention system performance, making them suited to recreational snow sports use.
