FAQs
Is the ABUS XOXO ECO helmet ventilated?
It is designed for urban use with standard airflow; while it does not have the extensive venting of a road racing helmet, it is suitable for moderate cycling speeds.
How do I wash the inner pads?
Simply detach the velcro-backed padding and hand wash them in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Always let them air dry completely.
Does the velvet material get dirty easily?
Like any fabric-finish item, it can attract dust. Regular maintenance with a soft brush or damp cloth will keep it looking clean.
Can this helmet be used for high-speed mountain biking?
No, this helmet is intended for urban and casual cycling. It lacks the extended protection and ventilation required for technical mountain biking.
Are the recycled materials durable?
Yes, the recycled EPS and webbing meet ABUS's strict safety and durability standards, ensuring they perform just as effectively as traditional materials.
Does it come in different sizes?
The XOXO ECO features an adjustable strap system to accommodate various adult head sizes. Please check the specific sizing guide for your head circumference.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Ensure the rear slider is properly engaged and the side straps are evenly balanced to keep the helmet centered.
Chin buckle is difficult to operate
Check the plug-in mechanism for debris or grit; clean with compressed air if necessary.
Padding feels compressed or thin
Remove the inner padding and wash it gently to restore loft, or replace the pads if they have reached the end of their service life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the rear adjustment slider before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned, adjust the side straps so that the 'Y' junction sits just below your ears. Tighten the chin strap until you can fit only two fingers between the strap and your chin to ensure the helmet does not shift during impact. To care for your helmet, wipe the velvet exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. Do not use harsh chemical solvents. The inner pads should be removed periodically and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water, then air-dried completely before re-inserting them into the helmet.
