It’s not all helmets in POCworld, I can tell you. They’re also playing with clothes too! The stand does odd things to cameras, so even if these pics looks terrible, at least some of the blame can be laid at the feet of the lighting. The vast majority of it, mind you, is laid at the feet of The Inept Photographer…
Resistance Jacket
A stowable jacket, which is also…
..has protection on the sleeves – the ceramic print is extremely abrasion resistant. It’s also big enough so you can wear armour underneath it. POC have included a RECCO reflector which makes it easier to spot from a helicopter (with the appropriate transmitter) in the air.
Resistance Short and Pants
There are ceramic prints down the side for protection against tears – they’re low friction too – and there’s also ..
VPD protection prevents those nasty thigh abrasions…
Also available in pant flavour.
Jerseys to go with the shorts.
Gloves to go with the pants and the shorts – they have VPD protection too. Nice. They also do mid-weight kit, too, with a bit less protection. Also available in black.
Glasses
POC have heretofore focussed pretty much on road glasses – they were fine for MTB but struggled a bit in low light levels. But now they’ve taken a good hard look at mountain biking, and they’ve got some specs to suit.The crave has a crash-proof, detachable hinge, everything is nice and bendy, the frame sits flush with the lens at the bottom of the glasses, and critically, the lens is designed to differentiate greens for riding in trees. They look pretty sweet.Here’s a handsome Swedish guy (Marketing Director Jonas Söderqvist) wearing them. The Aspire glasses are only horizontally curved for a more futuristic look. Pow.
And there are the Require glasses. Much more casusla in looks, but they’ve still got rideable features – bendy, unsnappable plastics, and good optics.
