Made for the demands of mild but windy weather, the Guardian Air Jacket is ideal for when you want to ride light without interrupting your flow.

Meanwhile, highly durable Cordura® backed up by reinforced Ripstop zones offers trail-ready durability, fending off, cuts, scrapes and general wear and tear. While you're pushing your MTB limits you'll soon be generating some heat and sweat. But thanks to the quick-wicking performance and excellent breathability you're not going to end a riding session wet through. The jacket also boasts underarm venting, improving airflow where it's needed. For days that see low clouds and light rain hanging in the air, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish provides protection. And there's also a hood to slip under your MTB helmet when you need some extra coverage. Lycra wrist cuffs provide a snug and secure fit, sealing out the elements too.
Safety First Mountain biking is tough on both the body and your equipment. And none more so when you're unfortunate enough to crash. The Otocon Race MIPS Helmet is here to keep you safer when it all goes a bit wrong. The first line of defence comes via the Otocon's dual-material construction. In the event of an impact to the head, a combination of EPP foam lower and EPS foam upper provide the perfect degree of energy dissipation, helping prevent injury. A tough and durable outer shell works with moulded Aramid bridges to enhance both structural strength, and integrity and improve penetration protection. This is one tough helmet. While the peak is great for keeping out sun and rain, it's also safe, breaking away from the helmet body in a crash, reducing damaging forces upon your neck. Meanwhile, the chin guard features a removable grill, offering protection from mud and dirt in winter but easily removed to boost airflow in warmer weather or a tough enduro climb. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Let the Otocon do the Talking When you’re mountain biking, crashing is a part of the game. As they say, if you're not crashing, you're not progressing. However, there may be a time when you’re not able to simply dust yourself down and carry on riding. It’s here the Otocon Race MIPS Helmet excels. It features a twICEme® NFC Medical ID chip, letting you store vital medical and emergency contact details. With an NFC-enabled smartphone first responders can read the chip and make the best treatment decisions there and then. And if that wasn’t enough, a RECCO® Reflector lets emergency services scan for you should you become lost on a backcountry mountain biking adventure. Cool Comfort Be it downhill runs or a tough enduro, it's all very well feeling protected but you certainly don't want that to compromise comfort. Thanks to the excellent ventilation, with internal air channels to maximise airflow, you'll enjoy all-day mountain bike riding comfort.

It's how you progress after all. And when you do hit the ground, the Tectal MTB Helmet delivers. Take on The Trails with Confidence The construction method is borrowed from POC's groundbreaking Octal road cycling helmet. This sees a tough unibody shell bonded to a shock-absorbing EPS liner. The shell provides durable protection against minor knocks and in the event of a more serious fall enhances structural integrity. An Aramid bridge system, first seen in POC’s proven and award-winning Trabec helmet also allow POC to maintain a low weight and increase vent size while making no compromise to safety performance.

The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most. The design of the Tectal also sees greater coverage specifically tailored for mountain biking. This gives extra protection across the temples and back of the head, so you're covered if you go over the bars or off the back. And if that wasn’t enough, a RECCO® Reflector lets emergency services scan for you should you become lost on a backcountry mountain biking adventure. Cool Comfort When you're riding, you'll soon be building up body heat. And with it, sweat. And so POC have ensured ventilation is optimised.
