Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The POC Tectal helmet comes ready to wear. The primary adjustment is made using the dial integrated into the size adjustment system at the rear of the helmet. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. The visor can be adjusted by gently tilting it upwards or downwards; ensure it is securely in place after adjustment.
Compatibility:
- Head Circumference: Designed for head circumferences of 55-58 cm (M-L size). Always check sizing guides before purchase.
- Eyewear: Compatible with most standard cycling glasses. The visor can be adjusted to accommodate goggles, though clearance may vary.
- Recco Reflector: The integrated Recco reflector is a passive safety device that does not require batteries or activation. It aids rescue teams equipped with Recco detectors.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the EPS liner and outer shell. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using the provided helmet bag (if included) can offer additional protection.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn padding. If significant damage is present, or after a severe impact, the helmet should be replaced.
