FAQs
What does MIPS Air Node mean?
MIPS Air Node is a specific safety technology designed by MIPS that reduces rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, enhancing protection during cycling accidents.
How do I determine my helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and compare it to the size chart provided by POC. The Amidal helmet is available in sizes S, M, and L.
Can this helmet be used for mountain biking?
While the helmet offers advanced protection, it is specifically designed and optimized for road cycling aerodynamics and ventilation. For mountain biking, POC recommends helmets designed for that specific discipline.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible. Helmet materials degrade over time due to UV exposure and general wear.
Is the padding removable for washing?
Some POC Amidal MIPS helmets feature removable and washable padding. Check the specific product details or user manual for your model.
What is the weight of the POC Amidal MIPS helmet?
The weight varies by size: approximately 300g for size S, 310g for size M, and 340g for size L.
Does the helmet come with a visor?
The POC Amidal MIPS helmet is designed with an aerodynamic profile for road cycling and typically does not include a visor, as it can disrupt airflow. Accessories like clip-on visors are generally not recommended for this model.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the fit system using the rear dial or buckle. Ensure the straps are also adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit.
Internal pads are uncomfortable or dirty.
Gently remove the internal pads (if designed to be removable) and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
Strap adjustment is difficult.
Ensure the strap adjusters are not tangled. Consult the helmet's manual for specific instructions on strap adjustment, as designs can vary.
Helmet seems to move during rides.
Re-adjust the fit system and straps to ensure a secure fit. Check that the helmet is centered on your head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The POC Amidal MIPS helmet is designed for immediate use. Ensure the fit system is adjusted correctly for your head size. Most models feature a dial or buckle system at the rear for easy tightening or loosening. Always check that the straps are comfortably snug and properly positioned under your chin.
Compatibility: This helmet is specifically designed for road cycling. While generally compatible with most cycling apparel and accessories, its aerodynamic and ventilation features are optimized for the posture and speeds typical of road riding.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior and interior pads. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the helmet materials.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using the provided helmet bag or a similar protective covering is recommended to prevent scratches and damage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If the helmet has been subjected to a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is apparent.
