As the only freeskier to enjoy three-peat gold at the Winter X Games, Tanner Hall knows top-end ski gear. That's why he helped create this Receptor Bug Tanner Hall Edition helmet from POC. It's the helmet you'll see him wearing in superpipe competitions this season. Based on POC's multipurpose Receptor helmet, the double-shell Receptor Bug Tanner Hall Edition offers the best in Receptor protection and comfort with features optimized for alpine skiing and snowboarding. The Receptor Bug Tanner Hall Edition features fully adjustable venting that you can open up for cooling on warm spring days and crank down in frigid conditions. Reinforced airflow channels between the two shells and around the in-molded aramid barrier help keep your head cool without undermining the Receptor Bug Tanner Hall Edition's integrity. Unlike a lot of traditional ski and snowboard helmets out there, the Receptor Bug Tanner Hall Edition exceeds in protection and comfort without compromises. Traditional in-mold helmet designs came out of the cycling industry and offer a thin shell with EPS inside that helps your brain decelerate during a big impact by collapsing with crumple zones--just like your car. The disadvantage with these "in-mold" designs is that it's a one-impact construction. If you take a big hit during a fall, the EPS crumples and absorbs the impact, but if you're still rolling around and looking at a multiple-impact scenario, those crumple zones are shot and your head is on the proverbial platter. That's why POC's in-mold with ballistic aramid and semi-hard shell designs protect your head through multiple impacts, although you want to replace your helmet after any big fall. It's a helmet design popular among extreme skiers, winter athletes and alpine professionals.
