Protective gear created by experts
POC is a protective gear brand founded in Sweden in 2005.
At POC's research institute located on the outskirts of Stockholm, the capital city, experts in various fields, including materials researchers, neurologists, and spinal cord injury researchers, conduct research from their respective perspectives to develop new products.
The resulting prototypes are tested by sponsored athletes and further improved until they are finally commercialized. All of the brand's products are born from its philosophy: "To use the latest technology and do everything in our power to protect athletes from serious accidents."
About the "SPIN" shock absorption system
One of the most prominent technologies developed based on POC's cutting-edge technologyis "SPIN (Shearing Pad Inside).Thisーの適所にsystem disperses the torsional impact applied to the head from an oblique direction, which is considered the most dangerous type of impact during falls while skiing, by strategically placing silicone pads inside the ski boot.

The lenses, which provide a wide field of view and are completely distortion-free, are all made by Carl Zeiss, a long-established German lens manufacturer.
There are three types of lenses used:
① CLARITY:
A lens that enhances shadow contrast so that the unevenness of the snow surface can be clearly recognized.
② CLARITY COMP:
A lens that further enhances the capabilities of "CLARITY," making it easier to see the snow surface even in flat lighting conditions where there are no shadows.
③ STANDARD ZEISS
: A standard lens made by Zeiss. It comes in a wide variety of colors, and by changing the lens, it can be adapted to different situations.
<ORB> Bringing out the widest view
Among POC goggles, which are characterized by their wide horizontal shape and wide side visibility, the ORB series maximizes the vertical field of view as well. By adopting a spherical lens shape, you can experience a wide field of view
This model features a seamless frame and lens construction, providing a wide field of view, and Clarity lenses. The frame is a dual-layer design with a strong and durable outer frame made of gliamid and a flexible inner frame made of polyurethane
<FOVEA>This is the compact size
This model is slightly smaller than the ORB. This is a good choice for people who don't like large goggles or who prefer smaller goggles. The spherical shape ensures a wide field of view without feeling compact
This spherical model features Clarity lenses. The top of the lenses have ventilation holes for excellent breathability. The lenses are also anti-fog and anti-scratch, making them easy to use
<OPSIN>Features a classic look
Flat lens models have become popular in recent years and are popular among snowboarders and park skiers. Compared to spherical lenses, they offer less distortion and a clearer field of view, making them appealing
