FAQs

How do I clean the POC Amidal Cycling Helmet?

Clean the helmet with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry completely.

What does the Mips Air Node system do?

The Mips Air Node system is an integrated rotational impact protection system. It is designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during certain angled impacts, thereby enhancing safety.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The POC Amidal Cycling Helmet is designed primarily for road cycling. While it offers protection, it may not have the specific coverage or features typically found in helmets designed for mountain biking.

How do I know if I have the right size helmet?

A properly sized helmet should fit snugly and comfortably. Use the 360° fit system to achieve a secure fit. It should not move excessively when you shake your head, and the straps should form a 'V' below your ears with a snug chin strap.

Can I attach a helmet light to this helmet?

Yes, the POC Amidal features a specific rear light attachment point, designed for compatibility with certain Knog lights to improve your visibility.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer or POC, as warranty periods can vary by region and purchase date. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Does the helmet come with a helmet bag?

While specific packaging can vary, many high-performance helmets like the POC Amidal often include a soft helmet bag for protection during storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the 360° fit system dial at the rear of the helmet. Ensure the straps are also correctly positioned and buckled.

Straps are uncomfortable or rubbing

Re-adjust the strap length and positioning. Ensure the 'V' dividers are correctly placed below the ears and the chin strap is not twisted.

Visor (if applicable) is not secure

The POC Amidal does not feature a separate visor. Ensure you are referring to the main helmet structure.

Helmet moves excessively during riding

Tighten the 360° fit system and re-adjust the straps. A properly fitted helmet should remain stable without significant movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent aerodynamic performance for speed-focused cyclists.
  • Advanced Mips Air Node system offers enhanced rotational impact protection.
  • Superior ventilation keeps riders cool on long or strenuous rides.
  • Lightweight construction ensures comfort without compromising protection.
  • Secure and customizable fit through the 360° adjustment system.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient ventilation in extremely hot and humid conditions for some riders.
  • The slim silhouette might be less accommodating for riders preferring a more voluminous helmet design.
  • While durable, the polycarbonate shell requires careful handling to avoid scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the helmet is the correct size. Use the adjustable 360° fit system to dial in a snug, comfortable fit. Turn the dial at the back to tighten or loosen the retention band.
  2. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' shape just below your earlobes, with the center divider resting flat under your chin.
  3. Buckle the chin strap. It should be snug enough that you can fit no more than one finger between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility:

  • The helmet is designed for adult road cycling.
  • Features a rear attachment point for compatible Knog lights (light not included).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged. The included helmet bag is ideal for storage and transport.
  • Inspection: After any impact, it is recommended to inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or deformation. If damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
