POC is implementing backcountry-focused technology into the POC Obex BC SPIN Helmet 2020. Employing all of the same safety features as the Obex SPIN–EPS foam liner for shock absorption, size adjustment system for the perfect fit and the brand’s patent-pending SPIN technology for oblique impacts–POC takes it one step further with this bucket by using a near field communication (NFC) chip for first responders to refer to during emergencies. Using an app called myiceinfo, search and rescue teams can efficiently look up your medical information via this chip to better treat you on the spot.
