If you've been riding an Omne Air MIPS through a few seasons of commutes, club rides, and weekend gravel detours, the pads have probably stopped doing their job. They flatten under repeated pressure, soak in sweat until they hold a permanent funk, and lose the soft contact that made the helmet feel like it disappeared on your head. This replacement pad set is built for the POC Omne Air MIPS, the helmet that uses Mips Air Node — a low-friction layer laminated to the base of the comfort padding to improve rotational impact protection. Because the rotational protection is integrated into the padding itself, fresh pads aren't just about comfort — they're how you keep the safety system working as designed.

That's the part worth understanding before you order. Older MIPS helmets used a separate plastic slip-plane liner that sat between your head and the foam, and the comfort pads were a separate item you could swap freely. Air Node combines those two functions into one component, which is why POC sells these as a complete pad kit rather than just foam squares. Replacing the pads on an Air Node helmet refreshes both the fit and the rotational protection layer at the same time.

The kit only fits the POC Omne Air MIPS helmet — POC accepts no responsibility for problems or injury as a result of wrongly fitted parts. The Omne family has expanded over the years to include the Omne Air Resistance MIPS, Omne Air WF (Wide Fit), Omne Ultra MIPS, Omne Beacon MIPS, and Omne Lite, and the padding architectures aren't necessarily interchangeable between them. If your helmet says Omne Air MIPS on the inside, you're in the right place. If it says anything else, double-check before clicking buy.... Read More
