The Skull Orbic X SPIN Helmet is a high-speed racing helmet approved by the FIS. Featuring POC's patent-pending SPIN rotational impact protection system, the internal shear pads reduce the effects of an oblique fall by reducing the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain. SPIN works by allowing the pads inside the helmet to shear in any direction during an oblique impact, a process inspired by the brain's internal protective system, cerebrospinal fluid, which cushions the head during a fall.
Using innovative and unique pad technology that sits directly on the wearer's head, SPIN pads allow the helmet to move relative to the head during a fall, reducing the force transmitted to the brain. A combination of SPIN, an advanced multifunctional EPP liner that is thicker in strategic areas to manage more demanding and repetitive forces, and a robust ABS shell produces a highly safe and durable helmet that meets the needs of skilled skiers.
The Skull Orbic X SPIN Helmet also features ear chambers designed to improve balance and hearing without compromising safety and grip, and the helmet is compatible with POC's Maxilla chin guard to provide additional protection when needed.
