FAQs
What type of cycling is the POC Tectal helmet best suited for?
The POC Tectal helmet is specifically designed for mountain biking, including trail riding and enduro disciplines. Its features offer enhanced protection and comfort for off-road use.
How do I clean the POC Tectal helmet?
Clean the helmet with mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I use this helmet for road cycling?
While it provides excellent protection, the POC Tectal is optimized for mountain biking. For road cycling, a helmet designed specifically for that discipline might offer better aerodynamics and ventilation characteristics.
How is the fit adjusted?
The helmet features a 360° size adjustment system with a dial at the rear, allowing you to fine-tune the fit around the entire circumference of your head for a secure and comfortable feel.
Does the visor offer impact protection?
The visor is primarily designed to protect from sun, rain, and debris. In the event of a crash, it is designed to break away to reduce rotational forces on the neck.
What is the benefit of the extended coverage at the temples and back of the head?
This extended coverage provides additional protection in areas that are particularly vulnerable to impacts during falls common in mountain biking.
Is the helmet compatible with glasses or goggles?
Yes, the helmet includes an adjustable visor and a goggle clip, making it compatible with both cycling glasses and goggles.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose even when adjusted.
Ensure the 360° adjustment system is properly engaged and tightened. If the helmet still feels loose, it may be the wrong size. Consult the sizing guide.
Visor is difficult to adjust.
Gently move the visor to your desired position. If it feels stiff, try adjusting it while holding the helmet firmly.
Padding feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the padding is correctly positioned within the helmet. If discomfort persists, check if the helmet is the correct size and fit for your head shape.
Strap adjustment is difficult.
Ensure the Y-splitters are positioned correctly below your ears and the chin strap is snug but not overly tight. Refer to the helmet's manual or online guides for strap adjustment.
