FAQs

What does MIPS Air Node Protection mean?

MIPS Air Node is an integrated system designed to provide rotational impact protection. It works by allowing a slight slip between the helmet and the head during an angled impact, reducing the rotational forces transferred to the brain.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

While the helmet offers excellent ventilation and protection, it is primarily engineered for road cycling. Its aerodynamic focus and ventilation design are optimized for road conditions rather than the more rugged demands of mountain biking.

How do I clean the helmet padding?

The comfort padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting it into the helmet.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the official POC warranty documentation for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for your region. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects.

How does the aerodynamic design benefit me?

The aerodynamic design, optimized through CFD testing, helps to reduce air turbulence and drag. This can lead to slight improvements in speed and efficiency, especially at higher cycling speeds.

Can I use this helmet in cold weather?

The helmet is designed for supreme ventilation, making it ideal for hot weather. While it can be used in cooler temperatures, its extensive venting might not provide sufficient warmth for very cold conditions without additional headwear.

What does the Whole Helmet Concept™ refer to?

POC's Whole Helmet Concept™ emphasizes achieving an optimal balance between protection, weight, and comfort. It involves integrating components like the shell, liner, and fit system to work together seamlessly for superior performance.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the rear fit system dial and chin straps for a secure yet comfortable fit. Consult the sizing chart to ensure you have the correct helmet size for your head circumference.

Straps are uncomfortable or rubbing

Readjust the strap dividers so they sit flat under your ears and the chin strap is snug but not constricting. Ensure the buckle is correctly positioned.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure that the ventilation ports are not blocked by debris or hair. For optimal airflow at low speeds, slightly loosen the fit system to allow more air to enter.

Visible scuff marks or minor cosmetic damage

Minor scuff marks can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For significant damage, consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ventilation for hot weather and intense efforts.
  • Enhanced safety with MIPS Air Node technology.
  • Optimized aerodynamic design for performance.
  • Lightweight construction for superior comfort.
  • High-quality materials and construction.

Cons

  • Premium price point may be a barrier for some.
  • Specific fit may not suit all head shapes.
  • Focus on ventilation might be less ideal for very cold weather riding.
  • Color options are limited compared to some competitors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Fit System: Use the rear adjustment dial to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your head. The system is designed to be ultra-lightweight and easy to operate.
  2. Secure Straps: Fasten the chin strap, ensuring it sits flat against your skin and is comfortably tightened. Adjust the strap dividers for optimal positioning under your ears.

Compatibility:

  • The POC Ventral Air MIPS is designed for road cycling activities.
  • It is suitable for adult riders and is available in multiple sizes (S, M, L) to accommodate different head circumferences.
  • Check the specific size guide for your head circumference (e.g., L is for 56-61 cm).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Drying: Allow the helmet to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not expose it to direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided storage bag if available.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
