Presented at & rsquo; ISPO of Monaco in 2014, Fornix helmet is a challenge for both houses: repeat the sonority & agrave; colored headphones that have won many fans and safety helmets POC. The test we decided to do so in three different aspects: the performance of the helmet, the performance of the headphones and l & rsquo; system integration helmet-mask-headphones. Convenience & agrave; calzataPer the first thing a helmet should be comfortable, fit the head without pressure points and provide good ventilation. In addition to being safe, but from that point of view POC has in place all the safety crash test and l & rsquo; experience in the World Cup in recent anni.Il Fornix helmet is comfortable from the first moment, with enough space for both skull that for the ears, without pressure points, thanks to the system very well adaptable Micrometric. In particular the feeling that stands in & rsquo; use & egrave; that of a good winding, no empty points or the classic feel of the helmet that moves leggermente.Il weight & egrave; really low due to the open structure, which incorporates a ventilation system with locking helical very effective. Performance of cuffieIl real plus helmet headphones are integrated Beats by Dr. Dre, and they are fantastic. Are connected by a cable to the headphone jack of the phone, have built-in microphone and volume control placed very high up near the neck, cos & Igrave; you can use the helmet for telefonare.Sciare with music & can ograve; like it or not, and not for us to remember that in certain situations & egrave; definitely more & ugrave; safe skiing without musica.Le headphones Fornix are really powerful, & egrave; necessary to keep the volume low enough to hear the sounds on the track. The real sensation & ldquo; & rdquo innovative; & Egrave; a & rsquo; the other seems to ski with two speakers a few feet away, as if they were on the tails of the skis. The music is not in fact & egrave; piped directly into your ears, but wraps around the helmet, as if to give a feeling surround. This aspect makes it much more & ugrave; enjoyable music track, the quality & agrave; & Egrave; high and above can not totally rule out external noise. Integration helmet-mask-cuffieC & rsquo; & egrave; a further positive side to emphasize in this helmet and & egrave; l & rsquo; coupled with the mask: & egrave; a perfect synergy. The profile of the helmet falls partly to allow you to stay the mask without causing pressure on the nose. The visual & egrave; sharp and almost 180 degrees, thanks to the lens but oversized cylindrical. The color of the lens of the mask Retina & egrave; a light gray mirror, produced by Zeiss, which filters ultraviolet fine and sunny or partly sunny days d & agrave; the best of s & egrave; .Finally l & rsquo; integration mask-helmet is also found in the ventilation system: the edge of the helmet has openings to ventilate even the top of the mask, cos & Igrave; to avert even more & ugrave; any fogging. ConclusioniIl helmet & egrave; a top product, which offers high levels of safety and comfort. Headphones integrated into the ear they sound crisp and without gracchiare.Due are defects, however small: with l & rsquo; aeration of the helmet open all feels pretty swish, ruining l & rsquo; experience of music (but just raise the volume a little). Also not & egrave; expected bluetooth version, with that we would be top notch!
