FAQs
Is this rain cover compatible with all helmet sizes?
It is designed to be a universal fit for most standard adult bicycle helmets due to its elasticized construction.
Can I wash the cover in a washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wipe the cover with a damp cloth to preserve the water-repellent coating.
Does the yellow color fade over time?
Like all outdoor gear, the high-visibility yellow may show signs of wear after heavy UV exposure over several seasons.
Will this work with helmets that have a visor?
It generally works well, though you may need to stretch the cover carefully around the visor mount points.
Is the material breathable?
The cover is designed to be waterproof, so it does not offer significant breathability; it is intended for use in wet or cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Cover feels loose or shifts during riding
Ensure the elasticated drawstring is pulled tight and the toggle is locked in the correct position.
Water pooling on the top of the helmet
Check that the cover is centered correctly and pulled evenly over the helmet vents to prevent sagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply place the cover over the top of your bicycle helmet and pull the elasticated drawstring until the cover is taut against the helmet shell. Ensure the reflective elements are positioned clearly at the back and sides. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow the cover to air dry completely before storing it away to prevent mildew buildup. When not in use, fold the cover neatly to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent coating.
