Installation and care tips
To replace your helmet lens, ensure the helmet is cool and powered off. Remove the old lens following your helmet's manual, handle the new lens by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the glass, and install securely. Inspect for any cracks or chips before use, and store the spare in its bulk packaging until needed to protect it from scratches.
