Market: In 2015, the Swedish helmet and clothing manufacturer POC is consistently continuing on the path it took the previous year. What is meant here in particular is the so-called AVIP collection: AVIP stands for Attention, Visibility, Interaction, Protection and these products are intended to significantly increase visibility in traffic thanks to their bright colors.
We already had one of the big POC highlights of the 2015 season, the Octal AVIP MIPS, as part of the Vuelta last year presented in detail. The high-tech helmet is now joined by numerous other suitable products. These include, for example, the AVIP Softshell Jacket, which with its waterproof front, brushed inside and huge reflective print on the back should be of particular interest for all-weather use: it costs €299,95
There is also news from Sweden for 2015 when it comes to safety. The AVIP Backprotection Jersey not only offers a good fit and, of course, large areas of reflective inserts, but also a light but extremely effective back protector, which is designed to effectively protect the spine in the event of a fall on the back. The back protection jersey costs €269,95.
If you can do without the protector, you will still find what you are looking for in the POC portfolio: The AVIP Printed Light Jersey, for example, was specially developed for hot days and offers very good temperature regulation and mesh inserts, for example under the arms. There will also be new high-end bib shorts from POC this year. The Contour Aerofoil Bib Short is made of special Aerofoil material and comes with the Contour seat pad, which is designed to effectively dampen vibrations with silicone-based inserts.
