Full details

Its primary benefit is the combination of MIPS safety technology and advanced cooling features like the Roc Loc Air fit system, though users should note that the extensive padding requires regular washing to maintain its anti-microbial effectiveness.

Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly during rides
Adjust the rear Roc Loc dial and ensure the side strap 'Y' sliders are positioned correctly just below your ears for a secure anchor.
Sweat dripping into eyes
Check the condition of the hydrophilic pads; if they are fully saturated, remove and wring them out, or wash them to restore absorption capacity.
Visor feels loose
Check the P.O.V. Plus attachment points to ensure they are fully snapped into the desired position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the rear Roc Loc dial, place the helmet on your head, and then rotate the dial until snug but comfortable. Ensure the side straps sit flat against your skin and form a "Y" shape just below the earlobes.
For care, the helmet shell should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Never use harsh solvents or cleaning agents that can degrade the polycarbonate shell. The internal pads are removable and machine washable—wash them regularly to prevent salt build-up from sweat, which helps maintain the anti-microbial properties and keeps the helmet smelling fresh.
