Why We Like The Obex BC MIPS Helmet
POC's Obex BC MIPS Helmet provides premium features to prepare us for the backcountry appropriately. Its polycarbonate shell is thicker than the original Obex Helmet for greater durability, and aramid panels provide better penetration protection. We also appreciate the fully adjustable ventilation that helps keep our cool when we work up a sweat while hiking.

Great helmet!!!
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- Large
I know this helmet saved me from a traumatic brain injury! Last run of the day, it seems that this is always the case.My worst crash ever, even worse than the time I had a double spiral fracture. I fell with a whiplash action on to the back of my head. The helmet saved me! Thank You POC for making such a fine product!!!

Great helmet with a caveat
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
POC helmets are great. I've had a few now over the years. They fit rounder heads (like mine) like a glove. That said, I returned this helmet because the box had mildew on the inside and the helmet smelled like mildew. I don't know if it's an issue with Backcountry or POC. I do know that I'm not happy having to dish out $6.95 to ship it back to them because of this defect.
