POC Cortex DH Fullface MIPS Helmet 2012: The POC Cortex DH Fullface MIPS Helmet is as high performance as it gets. It has a lightweight advanced carbon shell wrapped over the patent pending Aramid reinforced in-mold liner. The liner has a thin shell of polycarbonate covering the multi-impact Super EPP core, and the double overlapping shell design. POC's patented VDSAP allows for a fully ventilated construction for maximum comfort without sacrificing penetration resistance or impact energy management. The helmet is also equipped with the patented MIPS system to reduce the rotational forces on the brain in the case of an oblique impact. In the Cortex DH helmet, nothing has been neglected to attain the highest possible level of protection.
At the front, there is the POC patent VDSAP (Ventilated- Double-Shell-Anti-Penetration), a double shell solution where air is transported between two layers of shell, to avoid direct wind and to withstand penetration from sharp objects. At the back, there are ventilation holes for the helmet to function as a chimney, where air is pulled from the front to the rear.
On top, the helmet has generous ventilation with six vents, that may be closed or semi-closed with a turning-devise. This combination makes the helmet very airy and very light.
With MIPS Protection System technology the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When a helmet with MIPS technology is subjected to an oblique impact, the low friction layer allows a small rotation of the shell relative to the liner. The brain is more sensitive to oblique impacts than radial impacts.

Multi-impact Super EPP core
Better shock absorption, lower weight and penetration resistance are some of the major advantages solved by using POC’s patent pending Aramid Ballistic Penetration barrier.
