POC and Marco Odermatt unveil a new signature edition helmet

COMMENTING ON THE NEW HELMET, MARCO ODERMATT, SAID:

“I started ski racing as I love to ski, pure and simple. And when I am not training for races, I still want to ski as it is inspiring and energizing. Not needing an FIS race helmet for this type of skiing, I sat down with POC to create and design my ideal helmet for the days I am not racing against the clock, and the Obex Pure evokes all the freedom and joy that a day of skiing gives me.”

The Obex Pure joins existing Marco Odermatt signature collection pieces, which include the Skull Dura race helmet, Zonula and Fovea Mid Clarity goggles as well as the Junior collection.

COMMENTING ON THE NEW ADDITION, AMBER STACKHOUSE, DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL SPORTS MARKETING, POC, SAID:

“The way Marco approaches skiing, his focus, his technique, his energy and his enthusiasm, are inspirational. Coupled with his astonishing consistency, it’s easy to understand his incredible string of results. But his love of skiing goes well beyond racing gates and it’s a feeling and reflection we wanted to capture in the Obex Pure Odermatt edition which features his signature lion design.”

POC has been working closely with Marco for many years, and last year announced his first signature series goggle to sit alongside his race edition helmet and Junior race collection. All of which feature his own lion design.

COMMENTING ON THE DESIGN, MARCO ADDED:

“It’s easy to spot the lion on the helmet and it is a constant in the signature series. It’s important to me because it has been a huge inspiration since I was a small kid as it is a symbol of power and agility. With the Obex Pure edition I hope that I can inspire and motivate even more skiers, regardless of race background, and encourage them to draw on the same power and agility that I have over the years.”

OBEX PURE MARCO ODERMATT EDITION

The ultimate symbol of agility and power, the lion has long inspired Marco Odermatt. Now, the ski racing legend shares that inspiration with skiers all over the mountain.

Although renowned for his Alpine ski racing prowess, Marco Odermatt has an unadulterated love for all types of skiing, anywhere on the mountain.

The addition of the Obex Pure to his collection celebrates this love for all the mountain.The lightweight and adaptable helmet is ideal for a wide variety of riding conditions. Developed following our Whole Helmet Concept™, the Obex Pure Odermatt Edition balanced comfort, fit and performance.

Front and rear chimneys on the helmet provide natural ventilation across the whole head, while integrated vents at the front allow steam to escape from goggles.

It's easy to adjust the size of the helmet, keeping it secure and comfortable without needing to change padding.
