Product Information
Full details
The POC Amidal Cycling Helmet in Green is designed for adult road cyclists seeking enhanced safety and performance. Its key benefit is the integrated MIPS system, which significantly reduces rotational impact forces. A potential caveat is that while aerodynamic, it may not offer the extensive ventilation of some other helmets, requiring attention to fit for optimal comfort on long rides. This helmet features MIPS AIR NODE for rotational impact protection, reinforced rear zones for stability, an aerodynamic design for efficiency, and a 360° fit system for a secure feel. It also includes compatibility for rear lights to improve visibility.

FAQs
What does MIPS AIR NODE mean?
MIPS AIR NODE is an integrated rotational impact protection system designed to reduce crash forces by allowing a slight slip between the helmet and the head during an angled impact.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The POC Amidal is primarily designed for road cycling due to its aerodynamic profile and features. For mountain biking, consider helmets specifically designed for off-road use, which often offer more coverage and ventilation.
How do I know if I have the right size helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head. The helmet should fit snugly all the way around without any gaps, and the retention system should be adjustable to provide a secure fit. It should not move excessively when you shake your head.
Can I wash the helmet padding?
The internal padding can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Always allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the product documentation included with your purchase or visit the official POC website for specific warranty details.
Can I attach any rear light to this helmet?
The helmet has a specific attachment point designed for rear lights. While it enhances visibility, compatibility with all light brands is not guaranteed. It's best to use lights designed for this specific attachment or check compatibility before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points
Loosen the 360° Fit System dial. Readjust the position of the retention system on your head. Ensure the straps are not overtightened.
Chin straps are uncomfortable or dig in
Readjust the chin straps to form a proper 'V' shape below the ears. Ensure the buckle is positioned flat under the chin and not twisted.
Rear light attachment seems loose
Ensure you are using a compatible light designed for the helmet's attachment point. Consult the light manufacturer's instructions for secure fitting.
Padding feels insufficient
Ensure the helmet is correctly sized. Some models may have optional thicker padding available separately; check product specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Adjust the 360° Fit System dial at the rear of the helmet until the helmet feels snug but not uncomfortably tight. Ensure the retention system sits comfortably around your head.
- Adjust the chin straps so they form a 'V' shape just below your earlobes, with the buckle resting flat under your chin. The strap 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.
- It features a specific attachment point for rear lights; check for compatibility with your preferred light model.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the helmet shell and internal padding with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid harsh detergents or solvents. Allow the helmet to air dry completely before use.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near sharp objects that could damage the shell.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
