FAQs

What does Mips Air Node mean?

Mips Air Node is an integrated rotational impact protection system designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during certain angled impacts.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The POC Amidal MIPS is specifically designed for road cycling, focusing on aerodynamics and lightweight comfort. It may not offer the same coverage or features as a dedicated mountain bike helmet.

How do I clean the helmet?

Clean the helmet with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals.

What is the lifespan of this helmet?

Helmets typically have a lifespan of 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific recommendations.

Can I wear a cap or headband under the helmet?

Depending on the size and thickness, a thin cycling cap or headband might fit. However, ensure it does not compromise the helmet's secure fit or the effectiveness of the Mips system.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The helmet should fit snugly and evenly around your head without pressure points. When you shake your head gently, the helmet should not move excessively. Use the 360-degree fit system to fine-tune the fit.

Is the helmet suitable for all weather conditions?

The helmet is designed for performance riding and offers good ventilation. For very cold conditions, consider wearing a thin skullcap or cycling cap underneath. For rain, the aerodynamic design may offer some protection.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the fit system dial at the rear of the helmet. Ensure straps are correctly positioned and tightened for a snug, comfortable fit.

Straps are uncomfortable

Readjust the strap length and position. Ensure the buckle is centered under the chin and the straps lie flat against the skin.

Poor ventilation

Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head and that the internal air channels are not blocked by hair or accessories. Check for any debris in the vents.

Difficulty adjusting the fit system

Ensure the dial is clean and free of debris. Try adjusting it in a well-lit area to see the mechanism clearly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Loosen the fit system using the adjustment dial at the rear of the helmet.
  2. Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level.
  3. Tighten the dial until the helmet feels secure but not constricting.
  4. Adjust the straps to fit comfortably under your chin.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult cyclists and is compatible with most road cycling setups. The fit system is engineered to accommodate a wide range of head sizes and shapes within its size range.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Drying: Allow the helmet to air dry naturally. Do not use heat sources like hairdryers.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
