Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the rear size adjustment dial. For a tighter fit, turn the dial clockwise. For a looser fit, turn it counter-clockwise. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head without excessive pressure points.
Visor is difficult to adjust.
Gently apply pressure to the visor to move it into the desired position. The visor is designed to be adjustable but firm to maintain its position during riding.
Sweat dripping into eyes.
Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly on your head. Clean the internal padding, as sweat buildup can affect airflow and management. Consider wearing a sweatband under the helmet.
Padding feels uncomfortable.
Check that the helmet is the correct size. If discomfort persists, ensure the internal padding is properly seated. Replacement pads may be available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The POC Tectal helmet is ready to use out of the box. The primary adjustment is made using the integrated size adjustment system located at the rear of the helmet. Turn the dial to tighten or loosen the fit until it is snug but comfortable. The visor can be adjusted by gently pushing it up or down to your preferred position.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed to be compatible with most standard cycling eyewear. Ensure your eyewear fits comfortably with the helmet's profile. It is certified to EN 1078, CPSC 12.03, and AS/NZ 2063:2008 safety standards.
Care: To clean your Tectal helmet, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After a significant impact, the helmet should be inspected for damage and potentially replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent, as the protective properties may be compromised.
