POC, the Swedish protection brand known for its reputation for safety, innovation and design, this week unveils its new 2025/26 winter season helmet and goggle collection. The helmet collection features an updated and enhanced Fornix, well known as a classic of the slopes, and an innovative Obex with a new integrated visor. New goggles, POCito helmet styles for kids, and race-specific seasonal collections are also featured, created to inspire and perform.
The new collection joins the newly released apparel collection and will be available online and in stores this Autumn.
Born and based in Stockholm, Sweden, POC is a pioneer in safety and performance. Almost two decades ago, the brand entered the snow scene with ideas that reshaped the vision of safety and protection. Today, it is this process and expertise that have led to original and award-winning protection and goggles for skiers and snowboarders of all ages.
And it’s a process that has inspired the new collection.
“Almost two decades ago, when we came into the snow scene, our ideas established a new vision for safety and protection,” said POC’s hard goods Director, Magnus Gustafsson. “Then, as now, safety is the centrepiece of our development and decision-making, but we have always had the user and their needs right at the top of the development process. All our new season products are infused with our innovations, Scandinavian heritage, and inspiration. We are delighted with the result and hope to inspire our users with a host of great new products, updates and unique collections.”
New Fornix
Part of the new seasonal collection is an updated and refined Fornix. The third iteration of the classic all-mountain helmet, the award-winning Fornix is renowned as an original influencer for skiers and snowboarders, having graced most slopes around the globe.
Refined once more, the Fornix comes with an updated interior to further refine both fit and comfort. Specifically, the thicker padding around the helmet brim and crown provides a softer, more cushioned feel at the contact points between the helmet and the head. Further improvements to the helmet’s 360° fit system and cradle adjuster make it even easier to find a secure fit. Designed to be worn with or without ear pads, the Fornix Mips features a highly adjustable chin strap with adjusters inspired by POC’s line of cycling helmets.
New Fornix BC
Alongside all the improvements to the Fornix, the stalwart of big mountain adventures, the Fornix BC (Back Country) has been fine-tuned for the grand scale. Refined once more for enhanced comfort and fit, the new generation of Fornix BC features upgraded interiors in the same trusted classic silhouette.
The new, updated Fornix also includes the highly influential Fornix POW JJ edition, which was created together with Protect Our Winters and POW founder, snowboard legend and POC athlete Jeremy Jones.
New Obex Visor
Sometimes it just clicks. The Obex Visor provides panoramic vision and precise adjustabıllty, all at your fingertips. With design details inspired by POC’s racing heritage, the new Obex Visor offers skiers and snowboarders the ideal blend of function and protection. The integrated lens with a frameless design maximises the field of view. The lens features Clarity by POC™ lens technology for optimum vision in a range of light and snow conditions. A soft rubber edge at the top of the visor keeps the weather outside, ensuring vision always remains crisp and clear. The helmet features a soft-close system with four-step adjustability and a three-layer foam that forms to the contours of your face for ultimate comfort.
New POCito styles and POCito Obex Visor
POC has long had kids-specific protection, and POCito was introduced many years ago to provide adult-level protection for child-sized adventures and tailored specifically for children. Featuring many of the exact details as the adult Obex Visor, the new POCito Obex Visor has been tuned to provide younger skiers and snowboarders with all they need on the slopes.
The POCito Obex visor is joined by an updated Fornix POCito, as well as brand new POCito Nexal goggle, which has been sized to perfectly suit the needs of smaller skiers and snowboarders, and a new back protector, the POCito VPD Air vest, which is a lightweight protector that balances certified level 1 protection with exceptional freedom of movement in every direction, ensuring children are comfortable as they move on the slopes.
The APEX Collection
A brand-new collection, designed to get you ahead of the curve, is the Apex Collection. Inspired by high-performance competition and the focus on the details needed to excel at the leading edge of the sport, it’s a collection built around the Skull Dura Comp, Artic SL, Fornix, and Levator — a series of innovative models that have created their own unique space on the mountain.
The APEX collection features a vibrant red, blue, and white design and includes the highly regarded Nexal and race-renowned Zonula goggles in blue and red. It’s a collection infused with race heritage and will excite skiers and fans alike.
Alongside the Apex collection, the junior Blixten Collection is available for the younger racer looking to carve out their own distinctive place on the mountain. Featuring a lightning flash across the range of helmets, goggles, race suits, and jerseys, it’s a collection created to inspire and bring even more enjoyment to the mountains.
POC seasonal colours
These models are available in a range of new colors, including Apricot Sunstone, Bleu Blanc, Rouge Blanc, and Jaune Blanc.
