Back-to-back laps through chop on a powder day put a helmet through plenty of bouncing, and the POC Arcus Helmet is a freeride ski helmet with a hybrid shell that stays light through all of it. The ABS lower shell and PC in-mold top combine durability with low weight. Mips Air Node sits in the padding, where its low-friction layer is designed to reduce rotational forces in angled impacts without adding much bulk or blocking airflow. The BOA Fit System spreads adjustment evenly around the head to reduce pressure points on long days. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I open the vents for the climb and close them partway for the descent, and the magnetic control works with my gloves on. The goggle chimneys let heat from the goggles escape through the helmet, so I get less fogging when I stop to catch my breath."
