POC Cycling Helmets – Protect Lives & Minimise Accident Consequences
Founded in 2005 by Stefan Ytterborn, POC initially focused on the ski racing market. The concepts, technology and materials for the new POC helmets and POC protection were developed in close cooperation with the POC Lab. The scientific forum ensures that POC protective equipment such as POC knee pads and POC back protection are among the most advanced products on the market.
When US athlete Julia Mancuso won gold in the giant slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympics, images of her wearing a POC helmet and POC goggles were seen all over the world. Since then, the brand has also established itself on the cycling market and has been the official supplier of the UCI World Tour team EF Education-EasyPost since 2014.
POC Road & MTB Helmets – Your Reliable Safety Equipment for Setting New Records
Undoubtedly, you will find out after you receive your new head protection: A POC MTB helmet or a POC road bike helmet is outstanding in terms of quality and design. To guarantee the highest levels of safety, comfort and performance, POC bike helmets for adults and kids are designed with the interaction of all materials and features in mind. Whether designing POC bike helmets for women, POC bike helmets for men, POC cycling glasses or MTB goggles, the POC team always draws on the latest scientific developments and the user experience shared by professional cyclists. Against this backdrop, the POC cycling helmets in the Ventral range are designed to be light on weight and top class in aerodynamics, without compromising on safety. The POC MTB helmets in the Kortal, Tectal and Coron ranges, on the other hand, focus more on robustness and padding to take account of the particular stresses and strains involved in aggressive trail riding and enduro descents.
Let's not kid ourselves: everyone falls. Even the best athletes have falls time and time again. It's all about getting up and getting on. To make this possible, POC has developed the VDP (Visco-elastic polymer dough) collection. The POC protection in the VPD range includes:
- POC elbow protectors
- POC knee pads
- POC back & chest protection
- POC protective jackets and vests
- POC protective tops & shorts
POC protective backpackPOC has introduced SPIN technology for POC men's, women's and kids’ bike helmets. Patented SPIN Pads are effective at absorbing any force that hits the head in an oblique impact.
