Hey everybody and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over

And remember, over on our Bikes and Big Ideas podcast, yesterday we put up part two of our

bikes versus skis conversations.

Anyway, subscribe to our Bikes and Big Ideas podcast to check out part two of Bikes

versus Skies because it's awesome.

Today, we are continuing our series on the current state of helmet tech.

And our guest is Oscar Hus, who is the head of product at POC.

that need to be considered when setting up a way or

on these helmets or slamming them up against car windshields or whatever to determine how safe

these helmets actually are.
