Product Information

Full details

The POC Ventral Air MIPS Cycling Helmet is designed for adult road cyclists seeking superior ventilation, aerodynamic efficiency, and advanced safety. Its key benefit is exceptional cooling even on hot rides, with a caveat that its focus on maximum airflow might mean slightly less aggressive aero shaping than pure race models. This helmet integrates MIPS Integra for rotational impact protection, a fully wrapped unibody PC shell with an EPS liner for impact absorption, and a 360° adjustment system for a secure fit, making it ideal for both urban commuting and challenging mountain routes.

FAQs

What is MIPS Air Node and how does it work?

MIPS Air Node is an integrated rotational impact protection system. It allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to the head during an angled impact, reducing the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. It's seamlessly bonded to the comfort padding for improved fit and breathability.

How do I determine the correct size helmet?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the size chart provided by POC. The helmet also features a 360° adjustment system for fine-tuning the fit within the size range.

Is this helmet suitable for activities other than road cycling?

While primarily designed for road cycling, its focus on ventilation, comfort, and protection makes it suitable for versatile riding, including urban commuting and gravel riding. However, it is not certified for extreme sports like downhill mountain biking.

How should I clean my POC Ventral Air MIPS helmet?

Use a soft cloth with mild soap and cool water. Gently wipe down the shell and interior. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official POC website for specific warranty details, as these can vary by region and purchase date.

Can I remove the interior padding for cleaning?

Yes, the interior padding is typically designed to be removable for cleaning. Consult your helmet's manual for specific instructions on removal and reattachment.

How does the aerodynamic design work?

The helmet's shape has been optimized through CFD testing. It features a specific trailing edge design that aims to minimize air turbulence, potentially leading to slight speed advantages on the road.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or unstable

Adjust the 360° size adjustment dial at the back of the helmet for a tighter fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly fastened and adjusted.

Straps are uncomfortable or rubbing

Readjust the strap dividers so they sit flat below your ears, forming a 'V'. Tighten or loosen the chin strap as needed.

Poor ventilation despite open channels

Ensure no debris is blocking the ventilation ports. The helmet's design relies on forward motion for optimal airflow; stationary ventilation may be less pronounced.

Sunglasses do not fit securely in the eye garage

Experiment with different angles and positions of the sunglasses arms in the high-friction pads. Ensure the helmet is fitted correctly, as this can affect sunglass placement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ventilation for superior cooling
  • Integrated MIPS Air Node for enhanced rotational impact protection
  • Lightweight construction for comfort during long rides
  • Secure and precise 360° fit adjustment system
  • Aerodynamically optimized design
  • Convenient sunglass storage

Cons

  • May offer slightly less aerodynamic advantage compared to helmets solely focused on pure racing
  • The focus on ventilation might lead to a less 'closed' shell compared to some aero helmets
  • Primarily designed for road cycling, though suitable for versatile use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your helmet, adjust the 360° size adjustment system dial located at the rear of the helmet until it fits snugly and comfortably around your head. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned, forming a 'V' shape below your earlobes, and that the chin strap is fastened securely but comfortably.

Compatibility: The POC Ventral Air MIPS is designed for road cycling and is compatible with most cycling eyewear. The MIPS Air Node system is integrated and does not require separate setup.

Care: Clean the helmet with mild soap and cool water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials. The padding can often be removed for separate cleaning. Allow the helmet to air dry completely before storing it. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always inspect your helmet after any impact; if there is any sign of damage, it should be replaced.
