The POC Omne Air MIPS helmet is a premium protective solution designed for cyclists who prioritize safety, comfort, and style. Featuring a robust polycarbonate shell with a refined matt finish, this helmet is engineered to withstand daily wear while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance. By integrating advanced MIPS technology, the helmet effectively reduces rotational forces during an impact, providing an essential layer of protection for road cyclists and commuters alike.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this helmet is its focus on rider safety through the inclusion of the MIPS brain protection system, which is specifically designed to mitigate the effects of rotational energy during angled impacts. The durable polycarbonate outer shell ensures long-lasting structural integrity, while the matt finish provides a modern aesthetic that resists fingerprints and minor scuffs. Furthermore, the helmet is designed with an optimized ventilation system that promotes airflow, keeping the rider cool and comfortable during extended rides or intense commutes.

How to use
To use the helmet, place it firmly on your head so that it sits level and covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Adjust the rear retention system until the fit is snug but comfortable, ensuring the helmet does not shift during movement. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side buckles so that the straps form a V-shape under your ears, ensuring the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet secure but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and jaw movement.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the helmet size matches your head circumference for maximum safety.
- Verify that the helmet style aligns with your specific cycling discipline.
- Check the adjustment mechanism to ensure it is compatible with your preferred fit.
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or damage, especially after an impact, and replace it immediately if the structural integrity is compromised. Keep the helmet clean by wiping the shell with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the polycarbonate material.
