Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly.
Adjust the Fit Kit padding by adding or rearranging the pieces to create a more snug fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly secured.

Check the positioning of the Fit Kit padding. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on the head, not tilted too far forward or back. Re-read the setup instructions.
Vents seem blocked or clogged.
Gently clean the vent areas with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove any debris that might obstruct airflow. Ensure no accessories are blocking the vents.
