Caught wind of a rumour floating around the ski world the other day... apparently Tanner has switched from Giro Helmets to Poc! 

Just tryin' to give you guys the inside scoop as fast as possible!

its POC's new reactor team, they had signed Jon to be on it at the beginning of the season, he has a custom redbull / poc reactor helmet so it would seem that it wouldnt be a problem to get tanner on one too.

POC is brining the heat as far as a freeskiing team goes, Jon Olsson, Blake Nyman, now Tanner, who next?

They've got potential, solid technology and the style is getting better every year. I still love the aviator look of their goggles.

The only kids ive seen rock the POC helmets are the ones that also carve through the park, hit the sides of rail jumps, and wear skin suits.  Thus POC will always = poop to me even if tanner is on their team.

i don't care its all marketing the more ppl get sponsored the more we pay i spose its good exposure for the sport but id rather see more money put into comps than companies, if a company makes a good product, they wont need tanner hall or anyone else to prove it, just the consumer. now maybe a fair price for primarily foam and plastic...

just so yo kids know, poc is a performance based protective gear company. i can guarantee you the skull comp helmet is the only reason scott mccartney on the US ski team is still alive after his crash on the weekend.

it doesn't look good? maybe you should go buy something that looks cool and won't protect you...go try a bern baker
