Enabling easy communication with your fellow riders anywhere on the mountain, the Obex Connect makes it possible to share vital information about your surroundings, and the conditions, with everyone in your group.
The Obex Connect combines a wealth of trusted POC protective features with enhanced communication possibilities, making it easier to share vital information about snow conditions and your surroundings with everyone in your group, anywhere on the mountain. Featuring a headset with sound by Harman/Kardon integrated into the helmet's earpads, the Connect function utilises Mesh technology to make it easy to stay in constant contact with your entire group, so vital information about the surroundings can be shared with everyone instantly.
The headset makes it possible for up to 8 people to talk to each other in a group while skiing together in the backcountry or on the piste. The headset connects easily to a phone too, so making phone calls or listening to music while in the lift queue is always straightforward. Additional features include a RECCO® Avalanche Rescue Reflector for enhanced searchability and an NFC Medical ID provided by twICEme® so that first responders can access vital medical information at the scene of an accident simply by tapping a smartphone.
Other protective technologies integrated into the helmet include Mips Evolve rotational impact protection, a dual-material outer shell for the ultimate balance of weight and
durability, and an EPS helmet liner to absorb impact forces. The interior size adjustment system spans the circumference of the head, making it easy to find a secure and comfortable fit without needing to change pads. Sliding vent covers make it easy to adjust ventilation for maximum comfort, and integrated vents at the front of the helmet allow air to evacuate from goggles, preventing fogging.
The helmet gives adaptable protection for a wide range of skiing and snowboarding styles. Lightweight and well-ventilated, the helmet is ideal for day-long backcountry adventures, balancing security, durability, comfort and protection.
