FAQs
What does MIPS stand for and why is it important?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts, providing an extra layer of protection.
How do I determine my correct helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head about an inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size chart provided by POC for the Omne Air MIPS helmet (e.g., Size M fits 54-59 cm).
Can this helmet be used for mountain biking?
The Omne Air MIPS is primarily designed for road cycling, commuting, and gravel riding. While it offers good protection, it may not have the extended coverage or features of a dedicated mountain bike helmet.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is present. Materials can degrade over time.
Is the helmet compatible with cycling glasses?
Yes, the Omne Air MIPS is designed to be compatible with most standard cycling glasses, allowing for a comfortable fit without interference.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Information on specific warranty periods is typically provided by the retailer or directly by POC. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the official POC website for the most accurate warranty details.
How do I clean the helmet's pads?
The internal pads are usually removable. Hand wash them with mild soap and cold water, rinse thoroughly, and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the rear fit system dial or straps for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head.
Straps are uncomfortable or chafe
Readjust the Y-splitters below your ears and the chin strap buckle. Ensure the straps lie flat against your skin.
Ventilation seems insufficient on very hot days
Ensure the ventilation channels are not blocked by hair or accessories. While designed for good airflow, extreme conditions may still lead to warmth.
Helmet makes noise while riding
Check that all adjustable parts are securely tightened. Minor noises might be related to strap movement; try adjusting strap positions.
