The Fornix MIPS is POC's core all-mountain helmet — in-mold construction with a PC shell bonded to an EPS liner, aramid bridges in the liner for penetration resistance, and MIPS for rotational impact management. The 360° rear dial and removable ear pads make fit dialing quick at the trailhead. Toggle-adjustable vents along the top handle the range from cold morning lift rides to warm spring laps, and goggle chimneys vent heat out through your goggles to cut fogging. Certified EN 1077 Class B and ASTM F2040. Weight runs 480–560g depending on size (XS-S / M-L / XL-XXL).

It's a clean, competent everyday helmet that does everything reliably without being a standout in any one area. Independent impact testing puts it mid-pack rather than at the top of the field, so if raw impact performance is the first thing on your list, there are options worth comparing. No visor, no audio system built in — just a solid lid for consistent resort days. Skip it if you want a full-coverage Class A rating or a lighter race-oriented shell; if you're touring or heading into avalanche terrain and want a RECCO reflector and NFC medical ID built in, look at the Fornix BC MIPS instead. It earns its place for skiers who want a comfortable, well-ventilated daily driver from a brand that takes safety engineering seriously.
