POC Tectal Race Spin NFC Helmet

This cranial case is exactly what you want on your dome in a worst-case scenario. Not only does it employ POC’s best-in-class helmet construction with a stalwart unibody shell and aramid bridge, but it also includes a built-in NFC Medical chip that stores medical and emergency contact information. The chip is a potentially life-saving feature—one you’ll be happy to have yet never want to use.
 
Chip aside, the helmet is no cross-country lightweight—it’s built to endure the rigors of enduro. The Swedish safety brand’s SPIN tech reduces the consequences of concussion-causing torsional impacts (similar to MIPS). Testers dug the extra features: the broad, effective visor, as well as the goggle clips, but did notice that the fit of the helmet pressed down on the arms of big-bodied sunglasses.
