Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the MIPS protection removable?

The Mips Air Node is integrated into the padding system for better ventilation and weight; it is designed to remain in the helmet during use.

How often should I replace the helmet?

POC recommends replacing the helmet after any significant impact or every 3-5 years depending on usage and wear.

Can I wear this helmet for mountain biking?

While it can be worn off-road, the Ventral Air MIPS is specifically optimized for road cycling aerodynamics and may lack the rear head coverage typically preferred for MTB.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The helmet should feel secure without being tight. You should not be able to rock it forward or backward significantly when properly adjusted.

Are the pads washable?

Yes, the internal padding can be hand-washed in mild soap and air-dried.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable or shifts during riding

Adjust the rear dial fit system and ensure the side strap splitters are positioned correctly under the ears.

Retention system feels tight or causes pressure points

Loosen the rear dial and verify that the helmet is positioned correctly on the forehead; ensure no hair or accessories are caught in the adjustment mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional airflow and cooling capabilities for hot days
  • Lightweight construction reduces neck fatigue on long rides
  • Advanced Mips Air Node protection for rotational impact
  • Aerodynamic efficiency reduces drag
  • High structural stability from the unibody shell

Cons

  • Higher price point compared to entry-level helmets
  • Design is optimized specifically for road cycling
  • Ventilation ports may be less ideal for cold weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, adjust the retention system until the helmet fits snugly without being uncomfortable; the helmet should sit level on the head. Regularly check the straps to ensure they lie flat and are clear of the ears. For cleaning, use only a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid using solvents or chemical cleaners, which can compromise the integrity of the protective materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as these can degrade the shell and internal foam over time.
