POC AVIP Essential Rain Jacket : Zink Orange

Season:2015

Brand:POC

Code:PO-095

POC is a Swedish company with a history in gravity sports such as skiing and mountain biking. With the growth in popularity in road cycling in recent years, they saw it as a logical progression to carry on their mission to do the best possible to save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents in our sport. To this end POC have created a range of products for road cyclists that have enhanced safety features whilst at the same time retaining POC's distinctive and minimalist style - indeed it is quite possible that they have created a line of products that overturn the long held belief that safe cannot be aesthetically 'cool'. This range is called AVIP and it stands for Attention, Visibility, Interaction and Protection. 

Before developing AVIP, POC studied infrastructure and it's relevance to road users (a heavy lean toward cars) and the interactions of road users, to better understand the specific hazards in road cycling. They also took into consideration that 92% of reported cyclists killed or seriously injured occur in accidents involving other vehicles, most often a car and strove to find a means of minimising risk to cyclists whilst still offering real performance benefits.

The 4 components of AVIP are:

Attention: Quickly getting the Attention of motorists and other road users to make others aware of a riders' presence.

Visibilty: To optimise Visibility in various conditions, including season, weather, time of day, distance, environment and light conditions. Through scientifically understanding how colour, material, contrast, patterns, motion and light interact it offers the best possible visibility and recognition on the road. It is for this reason that POC use hi-vis Orange for visibility as it is more noticeable in a broader range of scenarios than hi-vis yellow (with foliage as a background for example) while the use of Navy Blue and White helps to lend contrast.

Interaction: Communication and technological interaction between a rider, motorists and pedestrians to support proactive safety. The use of technology to allow a rider to worry less about other road users and surroundings and focus solely on riding. Interaction also supports communication with the outside world in post incidents situations where there is a need for rescue or emergency. (ICE Tag)

Protection: The development of physical protection focused on minimizing the amount of energy being transmitted to the riders brain and body. Engineered with innovative technology and ultimately optimizing protection without compromising performance.

POC’s line of specific road bike wear, AVIP Essentials, contains a number of high performing garments that have been engineered with performance, comfort, aerodynamic and proactive safety in mind. AVIP Essentials has been designed to give you a core performance cycling wardrobe and POC's approach has been to develop a range which can be used by all cyclists in all conditions.

By using some of the most progressive fabrics available - and by working closely with some of the industries most skilled, experienced and competent makers - POC have been able to develop a range based on layers and combinations to provide maximum versatility and avoiding products with a limited and narrow use. As with all of POC's products, the range is visually minimal with a striking, simple graphic.

The AVIP Rain Jacket is a stunning garment.  It is fully waterproof and breathable designed for proper wet conditions and features fully taped seams and waterproof zips. It’s made from a 3-layer, laminated DWR treated fabric and is designed with a cycling specific fit where the back and arms have been optimized in length to keep you fully covered. The laser cut ventilation holes under the arms provide optimal breathability while keeping strength in the fabric - the elimination of an additional mesh fabric, which would need to be stitched in - allows for a cleaner look and greater durability of the jacket.

We are suitably impressed with all of POC's products. Their approach is no-compromise and they manage to create clothing that does the job exceptionally well and that has broad appeal - regardless of your cycling heritage and discipline. Functionally we can't fault the AVIP Rain Jacket, water floods off it and keeps you dry in heavy rain despite the fact that the jacket is so low-bulk. Breathability is impressive too and you won't get wet from the inside!

The AVIP Essential Rain Jacket comes in POC's bright Zink orange colour and has a reflective logo on back and arm for maximum visibility.
