FAQs
Is the rear LED light waterproof?
The light is designed to withstand everyday weather conditions, but it should not be submerged in water.
Can I remove the visor?
The visor is integrated into the design; for safety and performance reasons, it is best kept in place.
How do I know if the helmet is the right size?
The helmet should sit level on your forehead and not move excessively when you shake your head after the adjustment dial is tightened.
Does the ponytail adjustment affect protection?
No, the height adjustment is designed specifically to accommodate different hair styles while maintaining the safety rating of the helmet.
How long does the LED light battery last?
Battery life varies based on the light mode selected; check the included user manual for specific runtimes per mode.
Is the magnetic buckle safe?
Yes, the Fidlock magnetic buckle is engineered to provide a secure lock that remains closed during impact but is easy for the user to open intentionally.
Troubleshooting
Rear LED light won't charge
Ensure the micro-USB cable is fully inserted and try a different power adapter or computer port.
Helmet fit feels loose
Rotate the rear adjustment wheel clockwise and ensure the chin strap is tightened appropriately using the Fidlock buckle.
Visor is difficult to slide
Check the visor track for accumulated dirt or grit and wipe it clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, place the helmet on your head and rotate the rear `Zoom Ace` dial until the fit is snug but comfortable. If you have long hair, adjust the height of the cradle at the back before securing the fit. To charge the LED, detach the light from its magnetic mount and connect it via a standard micro-USB cable. For maintenance, wipe the outer shell with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Periodically check that the visor slides freely and remove any debris or grit from the tracks to prevent scratching or binding. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the integrity of the protective foam and shell material.
