Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the 360° fit system until the helmet is snug and secure without being overly tight. Ensure it sits level on your head.

Ensure accessories are designed for helmet attachment or are small and flexible enough to be secured by the straps and Velcro. Refer to accessory instructions for proper mounting.
