Product Information
Full details
The Abus XOXO is designed for urban commuters, skateboarders, and scooter riders who prioritize a sleek, skater-inspired aesthetic without compromising on head safety. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a trendy, minimalist profile and high-utility comfort features, such as specialized tube padding to prevent skin irritation. While it provides excellent protection and a customizable fit, prospective buyers should note that the design is optimized for city mobility and may lack the advanced ventilation channels found in high-performance racing helmets.

FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
The Abus XOXO is designed for urban, commuter, and casual use. While it meets EN1078 safety standards, dedicated road cyclists may prefer helmets with more extensive ventilation.
How do I wash the inner pads?
The inner padding is removable. We recommend hand-washing it with cold water and mild soap, then letting it air dry.
Does the helmet come in different sizes?
The XOXO features an adjustable system. Always check the specific size range on the packaging to ensure it covers your head circumference.
Can I replace the straps if they wear out?
The straps are integrated into the safety structure of the helmet. If they show signs of significant wear or fraying, it is recommended to replace the entire unit for safety reasons.
Is this helmet certified for skating?
Yes, the skater-style design is intended for use with skateboards, bikes, and scooters, and it complies with the EN1078 safety standard.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Adjust the side strap sliders first to create a secure fit around the ears before fine-tuning the rear slider.
Buckle is difficult to snap in
Check the buckle mechanism for debris or grit and clear it with a soft brush; ensure the straps are not twisted inside the buckle housing.
Inner padding feels uncomfortable or itchy
Remove and wash the padding with a gentle detergent to remove sweat and salt buildup that can irritate the skin.

- Specialized padding prevents common chin-strap pinching

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve a perfect fit, place the helmet level on your head. Use the rear slider to adjust the inner cradle until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape around your ears, then tighten the chin strap until the buckle is secure, ensuring the tube padding sits comfortably under your chin.
For maintenance, remove the inner padding periodically and hand-wash it with mild soap and cold water. Allow the padding to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shell. To clean the outer shell, use a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive solvents, as these can degrade the protective materials of the helmet.
