Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Adjust the rear dial of the fit system to tighten the helmet. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned below your ears and the chin strap is snug.

Straps are causing discomfort

Readjust the Y-shaped strap dividers to sit properly below your earlobes. Ensure the chin strap is not overtightened.

Helmet gets too hot inside

While designed for ventilation, ensure the vents are not obstructed by debris. Position the helmet correctly on your head for optimal airflow.

Padding feels insufficient for long rides

Consider if the helmet fit is optimal. Some riders may find aftermarket thin helmet liners can add a small amount of comfort.
