Is the helmet waterproof?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, loosen the rear `Zoom Ace Urban` dial completely, place the helmet on your head, and then rotate the dial until you feel a firm, comfortable grip. Adjust the height at the back to accommodate your hair. For the LED light, use the provided charging cable to ensure the battery is topped up before longer trips. To clean the helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the outer shell or the visor finish. Ensure the visor is fully dry before storing it in the lowered position to prevent moisture buildup.
