FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the MET Codatronca's short tail design?
The short tail design is engineered to maintain aerodynamic efficiency across a wider range of head angles, which is beneficial for cyclists in triathlon and time trial events where head position can vary.
How does the Safe-T Orbital Fit System work?
It provides a 360° head belt that encircles the head, with both vertical and occipital adjustment points. This allows for a highly customized and secure fit.
Is the integrated visor interchangeable?
No, the MET Dual Fumè Shield is integrated into the helmet design and is not designed to be interchanged with other visor types.
How do I clean the helmet?
Clean the shell with mild soap and water. The comfort pads are hand washable with mild soap and cold water. Air dry all components thoroughly.
What are the available sizes and corresponding head circumferences?
The helmet is available in size S (52-56cm), M (56-58cm), and L (58-61cm).
Does this helmet offer good ventilation for hot weather?
The helmet features internal air channelling and low drag inlets designed to manage airflow. While it prioritizes aerodynamics, it aims to provide adequate ventilation for its intended use in competitive cycling. However, it may offer less airflow than dedicated high-ventilation road helmets.
What certifications does the MET Codatronca helmet have?
The helmet meets CE and AS/NZS safety certifications.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or moves excessively
Readjust the Safe-T Orbital Fit System using the rear dial. Ensure the 360° head belt is correctly positioned and tightened. Check vertical and occipital adjustments.
Chin strap buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the two parts of the Fidlock magnetic buckle are aligned correctly. Clean any debris from the magnetic surfaces. Practice with the buckle to familiarize yourself with its operation.
Discomfort from pads or straps
Wash the comfort pads and ensure they are fully dry before reinserting. Readjust the Air Lite straps and cam dividers for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct helmet size.
Visor fogs up during use
Ensure the helmet is properly ventilated for your riding conditions. Consider using anti-fog treatment on the inside of the visor or ensuring adequate airflow through the helmet's internal channelling.
