Product Information

Full details

The POC Cytal Lite Helmet is designed for adult cyclists prioritizing extreme lightness and total ventilation, especially for climbing and hot conditions. Its key benefit is a perfect blend of comfort, protection, and efficiency without compromising airflow. A potential consideration is its focus on minimal weight, which may not suit those seeking maximum impact absorption features found in heavier helmets. This ultra-light road helmet features an optimized shell with lower-weight EPS and an advanced ventilation system for improved airflow.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the retention system dial at the back of the helmet. For a tighter fit, turn the dial clockwise; for a looser fit, turn it counter-clockwise. Ensure the straps are also adjusted properly to lie flat against your head.

Straps are uncomfortable under the chin

Ensure the Y-splitters on the straps are positioned just below your earlobes. Readjust the straps to lie flat and snug against your head. The chin strap should be comfortable and not chafe.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure there are no obstructions in the vents, such as debris or helmet liners. For maximum airflow, ensure the helmet is fitted correctly; a poor fit can disrupt airflow patterns.
