Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose despite adjustment
Ensure the slip ratchet is fully engaged and re-adjust the headband. Check that the chin strap is securely fastened and adjusted.
Sweatband is uncomfortable or not absorbing moisture
Ensure the sweatband is correctly attached. If it's worn out, consider replacing it with a compatible accessory.
Venting seems insufficient
While the helmet is vented, performance can be affected by high humidity and strenuous activity. Ensure the vents are clear of debris.
Helmet shows signs of damage after a minor impact
Any helmet that has sustained a significant impact, even if damage is not immediately visible, should be replaced to guarantee its protective integrity.
