FAQs
What is Mips Integra and how does it work?
Mips Integra is an integrated rotational impact protection system. It's designed to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the head during angled impacts, enhancing brain protection.
How do I clean my POC Ventral Air MIPS helmet?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to clean the helmet. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the materials. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can this helmet be used for activities other than cycling?
This helmet is specifically designed and certified for cycling. It is not recommended for other activities that require different types of impact protection.
What is the best way to store the helmet when not in use?
Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or punctured.
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.
Does the green color fade over time?
While the materials are designed for durability, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can cause colors to fade over extended periods. Proper storage away from direct sunlight helps maintain color vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the rear dial of the 360° size adjustment system. For a tighter fit, turn the dial clockwise; for a looser fit, turn it counter-clockwise. Ensure the straps are also correctly adjusted.
Straps are uncomfortable under the chin
Readjust the slider on the straps to ensure they form a 'V' shape below each ear. The chin strap should be snug but not restrictive.
Poor ventilation despite open ports
Ensure the internal channels are not blocked by hair or sweat buildup. Check that the helmet is positioned correctly on your head to allow for optimal airflow.
Sunglasses don't fit securely in the 'Eye Garage'
Try different models of sunglasses. The high-friction pads are designed for specific frame types; ensure the temple arms are fully inserted and seated correctly.
