Help!
I bought a 7iDP M2 helmet about a month ago. Nice helmet, good coverage etc and fairly comfy. Bit warm on the head though. It’s also VERY ORANGE!!
The pad inside is made of a silky material and less absorbent than the pads in previous helmets I’ve owned – which were more of a perforated, fluffier material.
Upshot is that after long rides (2-3 hours plus) the helmet gives me an itchy forehead, leaves raised red itchy patches on my skin and, on my last ride, full on hives which took a day and half to go away and left me looking like a spotty teenager (no offence intended if you are one, but I’m over 40!!)
So, question is, is it the helmet or am I doing something wrong? Previous helmets I’ve washed the pads occasionally (every month or so, or when smelly) with my kit in the wash, and that’s been fine. This one I’m washing in clean water every time I ride to try to reduce the problem, but it’s still getting worse.
Any ideas??? Similar experiences?
