The ski helmet that can speak for you when you can't. With enhanced functionality specifically for the backcountry, choose the Obex BC Mips when you are looking for extra durability and security on your adventures.

Giving you extra functionality and traceability in the backcountry, the Obex BC Mips features integrated technology not only to make it easier to find you if something goes wrong in the wilderness, but also to give rescuers the information they need for your treatment as soon as they reach you.

A RECCO® reflector enhances your searchability in wilderness zones, while the Twiceme® NFC Medical ID allows you to store all your emergency and contact details so that they can be easily accessed by a first responder at the scene of any accident.

Offering exceptional comfort for long days in the mountains, the helmet offers easily adjustable ventilation so you can control airflow through the helmet. A 360° fit system makes it easy to find a secure and comfortable fit.

The helmet is both light and durable, thanks to an inner liner of EPS and a dual-material outer shell using more durable materials in risk zones.
