FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts. It consists of a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows the helmet to slide relative to the head upon impact.
How do I determine the correct size for my POC Omne Air MIPS helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head using a flexible tape measure. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your head, about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size chart provided by POC or indicated on the product packaging to select the appropriate size (e.g., M for 54-59 cm head circumference).
Can this helmet be used for activities other than road cycling?
Yes, the Omne Air MIPS is designed for multi-purpose use, making it suitable for commuting, gravel riding, and general recreational cycling in addition to road cycling. However, it is not intended for extreme sports like downhill mountain biking or skiing.
How long should I expect this helmet to last?
The lifespan of a helmet typically depends on its usage and whether it has been subjected to any impacts. POC generally recommends replacing a helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if damage is not visible.
What does 'Whole Helmet Concept™' mean?
POC's Whole Helmet Concept™ signifies an integrated approach to helmet design, where all components—from the shell and liner to ventilation and fit systems—are developed together to optimize safety, comfort, and performance as a unified whole.
Is the helmet's finish matte or glossy?
The specific model, 'Bronzite Brown Matt/Lazurite Blue Matt', indicates a matte finish for its colors.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the rear fit system using the dial or straps until a secure fit is achieved. Ensure the side straps are positioned correctly under your ears and the chin strap is fastened snugly.
Helmet causes discomfort or pressure points
Re-adjust the fit system, ensuring the helmet is sitting level. Try slightly loosening or tightening specific areas. Check if the internal padding needs cleaning or if the helmet size is appropriate for your head circumference.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckles and adjusters are clean and free from debris. Gently move the adjusters back and forth to loosen them up. Refer to the helmet's manual for specific strap adjustment guidance.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure the ventilation channels are not blocked by hair or accessories. While designed for airflow, performance may vary based on ambient temperature and rider exertion. Regular cleaning can help maintain optimal airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
The Omne Air MIPS features an adjustable fit system, typically a dial or a strap at the rear, allowing you to achieve a snug and secure fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, with the front edge approximately one to two finger-widths above your eyebrows. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' shape beneath your earlobes, and the chin strap is snug but comfortable.
Compatibility:
This helmet is designed for road cycling and general multi-purpose use. It is compatible with most cycling eyewear. The unisex design ensures it is suitable for all adult riders.
Care:
To clean your helmet, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials. Allow the helmet to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps, and replace it if any damage is found or if it has been involved in an impact.
