description POC Axion MIPS Overview

The POC Axion MIPS is a trail and enduro cycling helmet from Swedish protective-equipment company POC, rather than a ski helmet. It combines extended coverage around the temples and back of the head with a MIPS system intended to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts. The helmet is designed for mountain bikers seeking lightweight protection with substantial ventilation and an adjustable visor.

help POC Axion MIPS FAQ

Is the POC Axion MIPS helmet certified for both skiing and snowboarding?

Yes, the POC Axion MIPS is designed for winter action sports and carries the necessary safety certifications for alpine skiing. It meets the ASTM F2040 standard commonly required for ski and snowboard helmets in North America.

How does the MIPS technology in the POC Axion actually protect my head?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which consists of a low-friction layer inside the helmet. This layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head during an angled impact, reducing the rotational motion that can cause brain injuries.

Can I remove and wash the ear pads on the POC Axion MIPS?

Yes, the POC Axion MIPS features removable ear pads and lining. You can easily take them out to wash them or swap them for a thinner set if you plan to wear the helmet in warmer spring conditions.

Does the POC Axion MIPS have an adjustment wheel for sizing?

Yes, the helmet features an integrated size adjustment system at the back of the head. This dial allows you to micro-adjust the fit to ensure the helmet sits securely and comfortably over a beanie.
