FAQs
Does the Valeco 2 come with spare pads?
The Valeco 2 utilizes COOLPATH technology which replaces the bulk of traditional inner padding, so it does not rely on a standard pad replacement kit.
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
While it can be worn, the Valeco 2 is specifically wind-tunnel tested and optimized for road cycling aerodynamics and heat dissipation.
How do I clean the COOLPATH interior?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the internal channels. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive scrubbers.
Can I attach a light to the back?
The helmet does not include a dedicated light mount; however, it does feature reflective stickers for passive visibility.
Is the visor adjustable?
The Valeco 2 is a road helmet and does not come with a visor.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The Valeco 2 weighs approximately 225g.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose during movement
Adjust the 5-step snap fit to a tighter setting to ensure the SELFIT system has a proper base to lock onto your head.
Sunglasses do not stay in the holder
Ensure the temple arms of the glasses are pushed firmly through the designated slots and check that no hair or straps are obstructing the grip.
Head overheating despite cooling technology
Ensure the air channels are clear of debris and verify that your hair is not blocking the entry ports at the front of the helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the HJC Valeco 2 is straightforward due to the self-adjusting nature of the system. To begin, use the 5-step snap fit mechanism to find your baseline size, then allow the SELFIT mechanism to settle. Ensure the helmet is level on your forehead, not tilted back. For maintenance, clean the exterior shell using a soft cloth and mild soap. Since the internal padding has been replaced by the COOLPATH system, avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the cooling channels. Always store the helmet in the provided protective bag when not in use to prevent scuffs to the polycarbonate shell. Regularly check the adjustable wide divider to ensure the straps remain flat against your face for maximum comfort.
