Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or causes pressure points

Re-adjust the Safe-T Orbital dial and vertical cradles for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to prevent pulling in one direction.

Straps are uncomfortable or chafe

Adjust the strap dividers below the ears. Ensure the straps lie flat against the skin and are not twisted. Check that the fit is snug but not overly tight.

Visor or accessory attachment is loose

This helmet does not feature a traditional visor. If any accessories are loose, ensure they are correctly installed according to their specific instructions.

Reduced airflow despite ventilation

Ensure that internal padding is clean and correctly positioned. Check that no external objects or hair are blocking the vents or internal channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Customize the Air Lite straps by adjusting the dividers below the ears to form a "Y" shape that sits comfortably under the earlobes.
  3. Fasten the chin strap securely, ensuring it is neither too tight nor too loose.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on it.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If significant damage is present, the helmet should be replaced.
