2027 POC Fornix BC Ski Helmet

Tuned for the backcountry and offering exceptional fit and function, the Fornix BC is a natural choice for long days in the mountains.

Shaped for the longest adventures deep into the mountains, the Fornix BC is built for durability while providing comfort and flexibility that works in all conditions.

Integrated technologies work to keep you protected before, during and after an accident: A RECCO® Avalanche Rescue Reflector helps rescue services more quickly locate you if something goes wrong. An NFC Medical ID from Twiceme® enables the helmet to speak for you when you can't: your medical profile can be stored on a chip within the helmet that can be read by any first responder simply by tapping their device on the helmet.

A refined interior enhances comfort on long days in the mountains: thick, soft padding gives a cushioned feel at the contact points between the helmet and head. The helmet's 360° fit system and cradle adjuster make finding the right fit even easier, while an updated design on the earpads and strap adjuster supports comfort and flexibility.

You can also easily control helmet ventilation for optimum comfort across a range of weather conditions.

The helmet features Mips to support improved rotational impact protection, and bridges of aramid moulded to the helmet liner enhances penetration protection.

Goggle chimneys align perfectly with the top of POC goggles to allow heat to escape and prevent fogging, while the goggle clip to the rear keeps your eyewear firmly attached and secure.

ASTM F2040

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.
