FAQs
Does the HJC Valeco 2 have traditional padding?
No, it utilizes COOLPATH™ technology which replaces traditional inner padding to improve airflow and cooling.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The helmet is very lightweight, weighing approximately 225g (±10g).
Can I store my sunglasses in this helmet?
Yes, the helmet features a dedicated sunglasses holder designed to securely store eyewear while riding.
What is the SELFIT™ system?
SELFIT™ is an automatic self-adjusting fitting system that provides a consistent fit without requiring a manual dial adjustment.
Is the helmet suitable for all weather?
It is optimized for ventilation, making it ideal for warm to hot conditions, but it should be used within its intended road cycling scope.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or unstable
Adjust the 5-step snap fit positions to a tighter setting to ensure the SELFIT™ system engages correctly.
Straps are twisting during use
Re-adjust the wide dividers to ensure the webbing stays flat against your face and is evenly tensioned.
Reduced airflow feeling
Check the interior air channels for any accumulated dust or hair debris and clear them to restore ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your HJC Valeco 2, place the helmet on your head and allow the SELFIT™ system to engage; you can utilize the 5-step snap fit positions to find the perfect tension for your specific head shape. Ensure the adjustable wide dividers sit comfortably below your ears to keep the straps flat against your skin. For daily care, wipe the outer polycarbonate shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Since the interior uses COOLPATH™ technology rather than traditional removable pads, ensure the channels remain free of debris to keep airflow optimal. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
