FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Mips Air Node technology?

The Mips Air Node technology is designed to reduce rotational forces that can occur during angled impacts to the head, thereby enhancing brain protection.

How do I determine the correct size for my POC Cytal helmet?

Measure the circumference of your head, about one inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size chart: S (50-56 cm), M (54-59 cm), L (56-61 cm).

Can I use this helmet for activities other than road cycling?

The POC Cytal helmet is primarily designed for urban and road cycling use. While it offers protection, it may not be optimized for specialized activities like mountain biking or BMX.

How often should I replace my helmet?

It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, regardless of visible damage.

Is the visor removable?

The product description mentions an 'integrated visor' with an 'elegant and functional design', suggesting it is part of the helmet's structure and not designed for removal.

What is the material of the helmet shell?

The helmet shell is made of polycarbonate.

Does the helmet come with a warranty?

Please refer to the retailer or POC Sports official website for specific warranty information, as it is not detailed in the provided product data.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the rear dial of the 360 Fit System for a more precise fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned below the earlobes and the chin strap is snug.

Straps are uncomfortable

Readjust the strap dividers to ensure they sit flat against your face and just below the earlobes. Ensure the strap material is not twisted.

Ventilation feels insufficient

Ensure that the ventilation channels are not obstructed by hair or other accessories. The effectiveness of ventilation can vary based on ambient temperature and rider exertion.

Difficulty storing sunglasses

Ensure the sunglasses are placed securely within the designated eye garage. For some sunglass designs, a specific angle may be required for optimal storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Loosen the rear dial of the 360 Fit System. Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level and covers your forehead. Tighten the dial until a snug but comfortable fit is achieved.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the strap dividers so they sit just below your earlobes. Fasten the chin strap, ensuring it is snug enough that you cannot fit more than one finger between the strap and your chin.

Compatibility:

  • Sunglasses: The helmet is designed for optimal compatibility with POC sunglasses, utilizing the integrated visor area and eye garage.
  • Head Size: Available in sizes S (50-56 cm), M (54-59 cm), and L (56-61 cm). Always measure your head circumference before purchasing to ensure the correct size.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell and straps with mild soap and cool water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided bag if available.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. Replace the helmet if it has been subjected to a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent.
