Poc thinks about the safety of the pilot
Protection for the spine
For the 2015 model year, Poc presented the "Avip Backprotection Jersey" at Eurobike. This jersey has an opening at the back to accommodate a protector, but can be ridden without the protective element.
The removable protector is made from a material called Koroyd and protects the spine in the event of a fall. Built in an "open cell" structure, this component is designed to offer high breathability and low weight and absorb impact energy on impact. Poc further perfects the safety concept for the new jersey with reflective prints.
Better visibility in hectic conditions
"Eye Park" is the name of another innovation that the Poc developers are introducing for the 2015 model year. The riders of the Garmin-Sharp team have told of scary moments when riding through the tunnels during the Giro d'Italia. There was not enough time to remove the goggles, and moving the goggles upwards was not stable enough.
Poc now has a solution for this: with "Eye Park", magnets create a connection between the helmet and goggles, so that the goggles can be easily pushed upwards, docked onto the magnet in the front edge of the helmet and securely fastened there. This even takes the fear out of poor visibility when entering tunnels.
