POC – Helmets and eyewear with MIPS
Swedish protective equipment company, since 2005
POC was founded with a stated goal: to reduce the consequences of accidents in cycling and skiing. Its design starts from impact physics rather than aesthetics.
Most helmets carry MIPS, an inner layer that slides a few millimetres on impact and reduces rotational forces on the brain, which cause the most serious injuries.

Frequently asked questions about POC
- What does MIPS do?
- It lets the shell slide slightly in an angled impact, reducing rotational force on the head.
- How do I choose a size?
- By measuring head circumference. The range in centimetres is stated on each model.
- Should a helmet be replaced after a crash?
- Yes. Even without visible damage, the absorbing material has already done its work.
