Replace your sweaty and compressed helmet pads with this genuine Poc Octal pad set. The pads attach at the same mounting points as the originals, which matters because MIPS technology uses a low-friction liner that allows the helmet shell to rotate 10 to 15mm relative to your head during an angled impact, reducing the rotational forces that can cause brain injury.
POC recommends replacing helmets entirely every one to five years depending on use, and immediately after any crash regardless of whether damage is visible. For helmets still inside that service window with no impact history, swapping pads is the move that gets you another season or two without spending on a whole new lid.
