FAQs
What type of riding is the POC Tectal helmet best suited for?
The POC Tectal helmet is specifically designed for mountain biking, including trail riding and enduro disciplines, offering enhanced protection for these activities.
How do I adjust the helmet for the best fit?
Use the 360° size adjustment system dial at the back of the helmet for a precise fit. Ensure the straps are also adjusted correctly to sit snugly under your jaw.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the helmet features an adjustable visor that can be lifted to accommodate cycling goggles, and a goggle clip for secure storage when not in use.
How should I clean my POC Tectal helmet?
Clean the helmet with mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, and let it air dry naturally.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While it offers excellent protection, its design is optimized for the demands of mountain biking. For pure road cycling, other helmet models might offer better aerodynamics or ventilation.
What makes the Tectal's protection unique?
It features extended coverage at the temples and back of the head, a fully wrapped unibody shell, and an optimized EPS liner for enhanced structural integrity and crash protection.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Adjust the 360° size adjustment system using the dial at the rear. Ensure the straps are also properly tensioned.
Visor adjustment is stiff
Gently try to move the visor. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanism. Avoid forcing it.
Chin strap is uncomfortable
Readjust the strap length and ensure the buckles are positioned correctly under the jawline. The straps should form a 'Y' shape below the earlobes.
Helmet feels hot even with ventilation
While designed for optimal airflow, very high temperatures and low speeds can still lead to warmth. Ensure all vents are clear of obstruction.
