To use the POC Omne Beacon MIPS, place the helmet level on your head so that it covers your forehead without obstructing your vision. Use the rear adjustment dial to tighten or loosen the internal cradle until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. Ensure the side straps are adjusted so that the Y-junction sits just below your ears, and fasten the chin buckle securely, leaving enough room for two fingers between the strap and your chin.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify your head circumference measurement before selecting the size
- Ensure the helmet sits level on the forehead for maximum protection
- Check for compatibility with your preferred cycling eyewear
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or damage, especially after an impact. Clean the outer shell with mild soap and water, and avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could compromise the integrity of the materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
