Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Ensure the Safe-T Sport fit system dial is tightened appropriately. Check that the 360° head belt is positioned correctly and evenly around the head.
Helmet causes pressure points or discomfort
Readjust the Safe-T Sport fit system, ensuring it is not overtightened. Verify that the helmet is centered on the head and not tilted. The 360° head belt should distribute pressure evenly.
Visor obstructs vision
The visor is integrated for a specific field of vision. Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly on the head. If obstruction persists, the helmet may not be suitable for the rider's head shape or riding posture.
Strap is uncomfortable
Adjust the strap dividers so they sit just below the ears. Ensure the chin strap is snug but comfortable. The straps should form a 'Y' shape below the earlobes.
