Jeremy Jones has snowboarded in almost every corner of the world, founded Protect Our Winters as a means to challenge climate change, and has been awarded Big Mountain Rider of the Year ten times! For over twenty years he has been a leading light in snowboarding, but the calling to be deep in the mountains, as close to nature as possible, is as strong and relevant as ever.

As POC describes, the Protect the Calling series is meant to show, “the longing for the mountains that sets off daydreams of anticipation. The feeling, that cares not for ability, history, or age, that inspires and makes you smile inside. The sense of expectation as dark shifts to light, warm turns to cold and your body fills with cold, crisp air and nature takes over. The calling has brought you back, every time better, every time more precious and in need of protection.”

One of the most innovative brain buckets on the market this year is the brand-new Obex SPIN helmet from POC. Constructed with an EPS liner, polycarbonate outer shell and ABS top, this helmet is lightweight yet ultra-protective and has the addition of POC’s patent-pending SPIN pads. This piece of equipment also boasts an interior size-adjustment system, sliding vent covers and integrated vents at the front of the helmet to prevent fogging and give you the most comfortable all-day wear. Whether you’re sticking to the front side, exploring off-piste or diving into the trees, the POC Obex SPIN will keep your noggin safe and sound.
