The POC Calyx is a ski helmet designed to offer reliable head protection for men who prefer a streamlined design without a visor. It’s part of POC’s lineup of helmets equipped with MIPS technology and built with an ABS outer shell, ensuring you have the basics covered for a day on the slopes.
Built with an ABS construction, the Calyx helmet stands up well to everyday knocks and scrapes, while the integrated ventilation keeps air moving to help regulate temperature during active use. The inclusion of MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) adds an extra layer of safety by addressing rotational forces in the event of a fall, giving you a bit more confidence when tackling varied terrain.
ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is a rigid thermoplastic known for its strength and impact resistance, helping the helmet maintain its shape under stress. MIPS is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows slight movement between the head and shell, reducing the rotational motion transferred to your brain during angled impacts.
