FAQs

What is MIPS Air Node and how does it work?

MIPS Air Node is a safety technology integrated into the helmet's padding. It is designed to provide rotational impact protection by allowing a slight slip between the helmet and the head during certain angled impacts, reducing the forces transmitted to the brain.

How do I clean my POC Ventral Air MIPS helmet?

Clean the helmet using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid solvents or harsh chemicals. Allow the helmet to air dry completely before storing or using.

What is the weight of the POC Ventral Air MIPS helmet?

The helmet weighs approximately 198g in a medium size, making it very lightweight for its category.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

While primarily designed for road cycling due to its aerodynamic and ventilation features, its robust construction and MIPS technology offer protection. However, specific mountain biking helmets often have features like visors and extended rear coverage that this model lacks.

How does the 'Eye Garage' work?

The 'Eye Garage' consists of high-friction pads located at the front of the helmet. These pads are designed to securely hold the arms of your sunglasses when not in use, preventing them from slipping.

What is the warranty on this helmet?

Please refer to the specific retailer or POC Sports' official website for detailed warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Can I replace the padding or straps?

Replacement parts for padding and straps may be available through authorized POC Sports dealers. Contact your local dealer for availability and installation instructions.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the 360° size adjustment system at the rear of the helmet. Ensure straps are properly positioned and fastened.

Straps are uncomfortable or rub.

Readjust the Y-splitters to lie flat below your ears and ensure the chin strap is snug but not constricting.

Sunglasses do not fit securely in the Eye Garage.

Ensure sunglasses arms are properly inserted into the high-friction pads. Experiment with different sunglass models for optimal fit.

Helmet feels hot even with ventilation.

While designed for maximum cooling, extreme conditions or high exertion may still lead to heat buildup. Ensure all ventilation ports are clear of obstructions.
