POC Receptor BUG Audio Helmet - 2008 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Detail Views
POC developed the Receptor BUG Audio Helmet for aggressive shredders who consistently push the boundaries of riding, be it in the park or AK. This versatile helmet features customizable ventilation, Skullcandy audio, and a “bankers brim” to boost style. An advanced system of double-overlapping shells uses semi-hard plastic to deflect tree branches and surface impacts while helping control your helmet’s interior climate. POC constructed the interior of the Receptor BUG helmet with an in-mold polycarbonate and EPS liner for excellent impact protection and comfort, so you can focus on getting inverted without fussing with the fit of your helmet.
Bottom Line: The POC BUG series delivers advanced gear to top athletes, and donates money to save the Amazonian rainforest.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

The white is a matte white. It can scuff a little bit, but hey, that's nothing when it's your head on the line and that last tree could've ripped your scalp off!

I have been skiing for 26 years and my mother was a stickler and made me wear a helmet at a young age. Therefor, I have a lot of helmet wearing experience as well as a background in racing. Needless to say I have worn a lot of helmets in my career. However, the POC helmets have integrated all the aspects of safety and comfort into the product and it shows. They are the safest ski rated helmet on the hill (slopes) and after only one day of wearing it you will be comfortable and unbothered. Use your head and protect it with the best. POC is a new company, but founded by a group of spinal doctors from Sweden who set out to make a more protective helmet, and they have succeeded. Look no further, as some of the best skiers in the world are wearing these helmets not only because they are cool, but because they work the best and that is why we are all wearing them to begin with right?
Does this helmet come with the audio controller?

Great helmet but the ear pieces take up a lot of space...think head squeeze... and also very hard. Size up when you get the audio version.

These are removable by "tabs" which slide up into the helmet very securely between the padding and the shell. There are also two Velcro connecting points at the rear of the helmet which keep the earspads in place.

We bought this for our 9 yr. old son, he loves the fit and the fact he can listen to his Ipod while he's skiing and we feel like he is very safe with this wonderfully made helmet.
Hey, has anyone out there found that the ear flaps with the audio
Hey, has anyone out there found that the ear flaps with the audio built in are uncomfortable on the ears? I've heard this, but want to know if this is a standard case.
