Can I use the MET Idolo for mountain biking?

Are replacement pads available?

Contact the retailer or the manufacturer to inquire about replacement comfort pads.

What certifications does the MET Idolo have?

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable.

Adjust the MET Safe-T Sport Fit System and the 360° head belt to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the straps are properly adjusted.

Straps are uncomfortable or irritating the skin.

Readjust the straps and the divider to ensure they are positioned correctly and not rubbing against your skin. Ensure the straps are not twisted.

The helmet feels too hot during rides.

Ensure vents are clear and not blocked. Consider taking breaks in shaded areas during very hot weather.

Difficulty adjusting the fit system.

Review the setup instructions and ensure you are using the fit system correctly. If problems persist, check the user manual.
