Go further with MODBC, our first snow helmet for backcountry touring and ski mountaineering. Blending triple-certified safety standards with sleek innovative design, the ultralight 450g helmet elevates alpine performance by combining its durable polycarbonate shell with essential technologies MIPS, RECCO and Twiceme. Expertly crafted ventilation channels optimize airflow and goggle performance, ensuring best-in-class clarity when navigating challenging conditions. The cutting edge modular design features a removable beanie with visor and strategic ventilation to replace cumbersome traditional liners: perfect for adapting to the skin track and frequently switching up your headwear for the ascents and descents. Tailor your wear based on your objective; when you want to wear the beanie solo, the helmet’s bungee straps and molded rubber yoke provide straight-forward backpack storage. Versatility meets functionality with hat compatibility, eyewear storage, and headlamp integration, while the antimicrobial Ionic+ interior material fights off odor and is conveniently machine washable. MODBC: our ultimate companion for conquering the backcountry and finding the fall line.
