FAQs
How many magnets are included in a set?
Each set includes four adhesive hood magnets.
What is the primary purpose of these magnets?
They are designed to securely connect a riding jacket's hood to a helmet, preventing it from flapping in the wind.
Can I use these magnets on any helmet?
They are best suited for helmets with smooth surfaces where adhesive can bond effectively. Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared.
Are these magnets permanent?
No, they are attached with adhesive and can be removed, though care should be taken to avoid damaging the helmet's finish.
What should I do if a magnet falls off?
Clean the helmet surface and reapply the magnet. If adhesion is poor, consider using a compatible helmet adhesive for a stronger bond.
Are these suitable for children's helmets?
These magnets are designed for adult use and helmets. Compatibility with children's helmets depends on the helmet's size and surface material.
Troubleshooting
Magnets are not sticking securely.
Ensure the helmet surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For helmets with textured surfaces, consider using a small amount of helmet-safe adhesive to supplement the existing backing.
Hood still flaps in the wind.
Check the alignment and number of magnets used. Ensure adequate magnets are placed to cover the hood's edge securely. For very high winds, additional magnets or alternative fastening methods may be necessary.
Adhesive residue left on the helmet after removal.
Gently use a mild adhesive remover designed for helmets or plastics. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid scraping, which can damage the helmet's finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances riding safety by keeping hoods secure.
- Easy to install with adhesive backing.
- Versatile for replacement or adding functionality.
- Provides a strong magnetic hold.
Cons
- Adhesive may lose effectiveness on certain textured or dirty helmet surfaces.
- Requires regular inspection for secure attachment.
- Magnets are small and could be misplaced if removed.
- Not suitable for all helmet types without proper surface preparation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the helmet surface where you plan to attach the magnet is clean, dry, and free from oils or residue.
- Peel the backing from the adhesive side of one magnet.
- Firmly press the magnet onto the desired location on the helmet. Hold for at least 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
- Repeat for the remaining magnets, considering the placement needed to align with your jacket's hood.
Compatibility:
These magnets are designed for helmets with a relatively smooth surface area suitable for adhesive application. They are intended for use with riding jackets that have hoods designed to attach to a helmet. While compatible with most adult helmets, ensure the helmet surface allows for secure adhesion.
Care:
- Periodically check the magnets for secure attachment. Reapply pressure if they feel loose.
- Clean the helmet surface around the magnets with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the adhesive.
- If removing the magnets, do so slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the helmet's finish. Residue can typically be removed with a mild adhesive remover.
