RSparky Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 idk if anybody has this problem, but I do on my Exo-400. With the strap snapped onto the little button thing, it makes a big loop, which catches air and funnels it straight up the left side of the helmet. Tis rather annoying. I don't like to just let it hang either, because it whips around all crazy like. Shoving it into my jacket is annoying when I turn my head. But, shoving it up into the helmet works! Until it falls out...In order to keep it up in there, I just took a sliver of some nylon strap, and sewed it into a loop that fit nicely over my helmet strap. After buckling it in the D ring, the idea is that I'll just slide it up into the loop, which will carry the weight, and keep it out of my way. I put the pictures on facebook, so we'll see if they work here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Good goat thinking. I think my dirt helmet has something like that that I don't use. Never noticed any air deflection snapping my street helmet - old one didn't have that snap, and that thing would slap the hell out of me if I didn't tuck it in.

max power Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have an EXO-400 and the big issue with mine is that the shield doesnt seal which lets lots of air get pulled through the bottom. The loop has nothing to do with it, at least in my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yah, i had that too. Put a really thin strip of foam under the rubber lip all the way around. I even cut some small strips for the sides. Cut it from a 2x2x36 in. strip made to seal up windows w/ air conditioners I got from Wal-mart. Its soft and plushy, but still seems pretty durable.The hard part was cutting it into nice straight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of ordering one. I havent yetI've got that on my Scorpion. It helps a lot with the wind coming up. Most noticable on cold days or if you get behind someone kicking up dust/debris. Regardless, the Scorpion still let's in a lot of air, but it's a noticable difference. Overall it's worth it.I've never noticed Sparky's issue though. Not sure if it's b/c the skirt or not.
