The Swedish safety experts at POC have done it again: they've developed a new helmet. The latest addition goes by the name Amidal, targets the road and gravel market and, as POC's Hard Goods Director Magnus Gustafsson puts it, wants to "bring together the comprehensive know-how around safety, ventilation and aerodynamics in a new form." A collaboration with Knog has also produced a rear light designed specifically for the Amidal — for an added safety boost on country roads, on long rides, or when commuting.
The POC Amidal in detail
Visually striking are the large, specially reinforced exhaust openings at the back of the head. These are intended to improve ventilation and cooling; due to their design they also increase structural stability. Extensive CFD reviews also promise optimal aerodynamics and ventilation across a wide speed range. For the helmet's shell POC relies on durable polycarbonate, and the lightweight EPS liner of the Amidal is optimized so that, while it provides high impact protection, it does not noticeably increase the overall weight.

Speaking of impact protection: for the Amidal POC also uses the latest technology from MIPS. The Air Node offers even better protection against rotational forces. A lightweight 360° adjustment system and a strap that can be continuously adjusted up, down, forward and backward ensure a good fit. There are proven features such as a "glasses garage" — and completely new features, like the aforementioned mount for the rear light developed specifically for the Amidal by Knog. Visibility-based safety at a new level (for the high-end segment), but it comes at a price. In addition to the listed €240.00 for the Amidal, opting for the POC X Knog Light adds another €40.00. In return you get a long-running small rear light with USB-A charging capability and up to 30 lumens of output.
The POC Amidal is already available online and at well-stocked specialist retailers in three sizes (S/M/L) and eleven colors.
