FAQs

What is Mips Air Node and how does it protect me?

Mips Air Node is an integrated rotational impact protection system. It is designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the head during certain angled impacts, enhancing safety without adding significant weight.

How do I clean my POC Amidal helmet?

Clean the helmet with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals. Allow it to air dry completely.

Can I use this helmet for mountain biking?

The POC Amidal is specifically designed for performance road cycling. While it offers advanced protection, it may not provide the coverage or features typically required for mountain biking disciplines.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with your purchase or contact POC customer support for detailed warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

How do I know if I have the right size helmet?

The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead, with the retention system adjusted to be snug but not uncomfortable. Use a measuring tape to check your head circumference and compare it to the sizing chart provided by POC.

Can I attach any type of rear light to this helmet?

The helmet is designed for compatibility with specific Knog rear light models. Check the product specifications or Knog's compatibility list for confirmed models.

What does 'CFD tested' mean in relation to this helmet?

CFD stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics. It means the helmet's aerodynamic and ventilation properties were analyzed and optimized using advanced computer simulations.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the rear dial of the 360° fit system and readjust for a more comfortable tension. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on your head and not tilted.

Straps are digging in or feel loose

Adjust the cam lock adjusters on the straps to ensure they form a 'V' shape just below your earlobes. Tighten or loosen the chin strap as needed for a secure but comfortable fit.

Rear light won't attach securely

Ensure you are using a compatible Knog rear light model. Check that the attachment point on the helmet is clear of debris and that the light is being mounted correctly according to its own instructions.

Helmet making noise while riding

Check that all adjustment systems (fit dial, straps) are properly secured. Ensure no accessories attached to the helmet are loose.
