FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts. It adds an extra layer of protection beyond the helmet's primary impact absorption.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
A proper fit means the helmet sits level on your head, covering your forehead without tilting back. The Zoom Ace system should provide a snug, secure feel without pressure points, and the straps should be comfortably adjusted.
Can this helmet be used for mountain biking?
While the PowerDome MIPS offers excellent protection, it is primarily designed and optimized for road and gravel cycling. For more aggressive mountain biking, a helmet with more coverage might be more suitable.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is generally recommended to replace a helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact or crash, as internal protective materials can degrade over time or be compromised by impact.
Is the padding washable?
Yes, the internal padding is typically removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before putting it back in the helmet.
Does the helmet come in different sizes?
The helmet utilizes an adjustment system for a wide range of fit, but sizing generally corresponds to head circumference. Please refer to the product's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Adjust the Zoom Ace dial for a finer fit. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned under the ears and tightened appropriately.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure all air vents are clear of obstructions. Check that the helmet is positioned correctly on your head and not tilted excessively.
Straps are uncomfortable or chafe
Re-adjust the strap positioning to form a 'V' under the ears. Ensure they are snug but not constricting. Washable padding can help if skin irritation is an issue.
Padding feels damp after cleaning
Ensure padding is completely air-dried before reinserting. Place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
