Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the 360° Fit System dial for a more precise fit. Ensure the strap dividers are positioned correctly below the ears and the chin strap is properly fastened.
Straps are uncomfortable.
Readjust the strap dividers to ensure they sit flat against your head and below your earlobes. Ensure the chin strap is not overtightened.
Ventilation seems insufficient during hot weather.
Ensure there are no obstructions in the ventilation channels. While designed for high airflow, extreme conditions may still lead to heat buildup.
