FAQs
What does MIPS Air Node mean?
MIPS Air Node is an advanced safety technology designed to provide rotational impact protection, enhancing safety by reducing the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during an angled impact.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The POC Amidal MIPS helmet is specifically designed and optimized for road cycling. While it offers excellent protection, its aerodynamic focus and ventilation patterns may not be ideal for the varied terrain and demands of mountain biking.
How do I clean the helmet's interior padding?
The internal padding can usually be removed. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet.
What is the weight of the POC Amidal MIPS helmet?
The weight varies by size: approximately 300g for size S, 310g for size M, and 340g for size L.
How should I store my helmet when not in use?
Store your helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near chemicals or solvents. Using the provided helmet bag can offer additional protection.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for the most current warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Can I attach a cycling light or camera to this helmet?
While the helmet is not designed with specific mounting points, users may find ways to attach accessories using non-permanent methods. However, ensure that any attachment does not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or safety features.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or moves during ride
Adjust the rear retention dial to tighten the fit. Ensure the chin strap is securely fastened and that the straps are positioned correctly under your ears.
Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points
Loosen the rear retention dial. Check if the helmet is the correct size for your head. If pressure points persist, ensure the internal padding is correctly seated and clean.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Ensure the strap dividers are positioned correctly below your earlobes. The buckle should lie flat under your chin. Adjust the strap length until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.
Exterior shows minor scuffs or scratches
Minor cosmetic marks are normal with use and do not typically affect the helmet's safety performance. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant damage, consult the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The POC Amidal MIPS helmet is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure it is fitted correctly by adjusting the internal retention system for a snug, comfortable fit that does not move excessively when you shake your head. The straps should form a 'V' shape under your earlobes and fasten securely at the chin.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult road cycling. It is compatible with standard cycling apparel and eyewear.
Care: To clean the helmet, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials. The internal padding can typically be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and cold water. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
