The AVIP Long Glove has a ventilated and reinforced palm for a more comfortable ride and allows for the closest possible contact with the bike. The glove has silicone print for excellent grip, is touch screen compatible and the back of the hand is made of durable and breathable nylon fabric.



AVIPstands forAttention, Visibility, Interaction and Protectionand is POC's most ambitious initiative to date, promoting safety for road cyclists.



It is great to witness the growth in road cycling, but this growth also brings to light the risks and safety issues involved in sharing roads with motorists, other cyclists and pedestrians.



In developing AVIP, POC considered how infrastructure is developed for cars, the lack of interaction between road users, respect and understanding among road users and the constant hazard of being run into by a car. Further, half of all casualties on rural roads, and 92% of reported cyclists killed or seriously injured, occur in accidents involve other vehicles, most often a car.



This led POC to consider a platform, which is a true reflection of their mission and brings a new relevance to road cycling. Through their medical and performance forums, POC Lab and WATTS Lab, they investigated and researched different areas to better understand the specific hazards in road cycling and where gains could be made.



They looked deeper into the problem, researching and studying perception, visibility, color and contrast, communication, psychology, digital technology, aerodynamics and more.



AVIPis the result of our work and is POC's most ambitious initiative to date, promoting safety for road cyclists. It is a vision and concept, which has been created by collaborating with some of the best minds in science, health and technology to redefine the future of road bike safety and performance.



The four core elements that make up AVIP: Attention; Visibility; Interaction and Protection, are designed and developed to work individually as well as in collaboration.



Attention- Is about achieving a simple, but crucial, objective and grabbing others attention to your presence. Attention uses the best possible tools to ensure a cyclist is recognized clearly, and in milli-seconds, by others in traffic through addressing the five senses independently or in combination.



Visibility- Optimizing visibility in a number of different situations and scenarios, including season, weather, time of day, distance, environment and light conditions. Through scientifically understanding how, color, material, contrast, patterns, motion and light interact it provides an insight to develop the best possible visibility and recognition on the road.



Interaction- It is about researching the possibilities and opportunities for communication and technological interaction between a rider, motorists and pedestrians to support proactive safety. Interaction applies new ideas to what can be done with modern 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.



Protection- The core of POC's experience, understanding how to develop physical protection focuses on minimizing the amount of energy being transmitted to the users brain and body. All engineered with innovative technology and a specific user and activity in mind, ultimately optimizing protection without compromising performance.



TheAVIPColor Paletteis a cornerstone of AVIP and has been developed to provide optimal visibility and contrast in a road bike environment.



Through their research they identified that visibility is not always simply a question of wearing more fluorescent clothing, but considering and understanding the use of color and contrast and the environment in which it will be used.



This approach led POC to the AVIP color palette, which is a cornerstone of AVIP. All colors in the AVIP color palette have been evaluated and considered to provide optimal visibility and contrast in a road bike environment.



Fluorescent Orange- Fluorescent orange is a strong and intense color and is one of the most commonly used colors for high visibility clothing.



Optic White- The Optic White color is innovative and part of the AVIP palette as it is diametrically opposed to many colors and supports enhanced contrast.



Navy Black- Navy Black is a strong color, which gives significant contrast within the AVIP color palette.
