Helmet pads
New helmet came with 4 oval pads with peel-off sticky backs and no
explanation of what to do with them. There is some thinner padding installed in the helmet already Probably this is obvious but I am stumped. Do I deploy them at the cardinal points inside my helmet? Use only as needed? Save for a rainy day? What is best? Pads are about an inch at their longest dimension. Helmet a Giro Eclipse. Thanks! |

Get a different size helmet if a major misfit. -- Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by |

They wear out quickly, but the company will send you more if you ask. This new helmet I got a few months ago has pads that are held in place with Velcro, a much more practical solution. BTW, I guess I have peanut sized head because small wasn't small enough. Youth fit much better and I still use the pads. |

Okay, got it, pads are all about fit and not some other esoteric purpose. Thanks. |
