FAQs

What makes the MIPS Air Node system different?

The MIPS Air Node system is integrated into the helmet's padding and designed to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact, enhancing safety without significantly adding weight or compromising ventilation.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A proper fit means the helmet sits level on your head, covering your forehead without obstructing vision. It should feel snug and secure, with no excessive movement when you shake your head. The chin strap should be fastened with no slack, and the straps should form a 'Y' below your ears.

Can I attach a standard bike light to the rear?

The helmet has a specific attachment point designed for compatibility with certain Knog lights to improve rear visibility. Standard lights may not fit securely.

What is the weight of the POC Amidal helmet?

The weight varies by size: approximately 300g for size S, 310g for size M, and 340g for size L.

How should I clean my helmet?

Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the helmet's structure or finish.

What should I do if my helmet has been in a crash?

If your helmet has been involved in an impact, it is crucial to replace it immediately. Even if visible damage is minimal, the protective structure may be compromised.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

The POC Amidal is specifically designed as a performance road cycling helmet, focusing on aerodynamics and lightweight comfort for paved roads. It is not optimized for the specific protection needs of mountain biking.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the 360° fit system dial at the rear. Loosen it if too tight, tighten if too loose. Ensure straps are also properly adjusted and meeting below the ears in a 'Y' shape.

Straps are uncomfortable

Re-adjust the length and position of the straps. Ensure they form a 'Y' below the ears and the buckle lies flat under the chin without pinching.

Helmet slides forward or backward

The fit system may need to be tightened further. Check that the helmet is sitting level on your head, not tilted too far back or forward.

Poor ventilation despite airflow

Ensure the internal air channels are not blocked by hair or debris. The helmet's design prioritizes aerodynamics; for maximum airflow, ensure it is fitted correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Adjust the Fit System: Loosen the dial on the rear fit system. Place the helmet on your head so it sits level. Tighten the dial until the helmet feels snug but not uncomfortably tight. Ensure there is no excessive movement when you shake your head.
Adjust Straps: Fasten the chin strap. The straps should form a 'Y' shape below your earlobes, with the buckle sitting flat under your chin. Adjust strap length for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

The helmet is designed for road cycling.
Features a rear attachment point compatible with certain Knog lights for enhanced visibility.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's structure.
Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near heat sources. Do not place heavy objects on top of the helmet.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If the helmet has been involved in a crash or shows significant damage, it should be replaced immediately, even if the damage is not immediately visible.
