Product Information
Full details
The HJC Valeco 2 is designed for adult cyclists who prioritize both aesthetic appeal and aerodynamic performance. This helmet excels at keeping riders cool during intense efforts thanks to its innovative airflow technologies, though users should be aware that the minimalist padding system feels different from traditional foam-lined helmets. By blending a distinct, island-like shell design with advanced cooling features like COOLPATH and SELFIT, it serves as a versatile choice for road riders looking for a lightweight and stylish head protection solution.

FAQs
Is the padding removable for washing?
The Valeco 2 uses the COOLPATH system which replaces most traditional padding, making it easier to clean as there is less fabric to absorb sweat.
Does the helmet come with a carry bag?
Yes, HJC typically includes a soft storage bag with their high-performance helmets to prevent scuffs during transport.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The Valeco 2 is very lightweight, coming in at approximately 225 grams.
Can I wear a cycling cap underneath?
While the helmet is designed for airflow, you can wear a thin cycling cap underneath if needed, though it may slightly interfere with the COOLPATH airflow benefits.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the helmet features adjustable wide dividers that allow you to customize the strap layout for a secure and comfortable fit.
What if the SELFIT system doesn't fit my head shape?
The 5-step snap fit adjustment is specifically designed to accommodate different head shapes. Try moving the snap points to different positions to find the optimal tension.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or unstable
Adjust the 5-step snap fit anchor points to ensure the SELFIT system is pulling the helmet securely against your head.
Straps rubbing against ears
Adjust the wide dividers along the side straps to reposition the intersection point until the straps lay flat and clear of your ears.
Sunglasses sliding out of holder
Ensure the sunglasses are fully inserted into the dedicated slots; check that the arm width of your sunglasses is compatible with the helmet's mounting dock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Valeco 2, place the helmet on your head and utilize the 5-step snap fit system to adjust the position of the SELFIT mechanism until it sits comfortably at the base of your skull. The helmet features adjustable wide dividers for the chin straps, which should be set so they sit flat against your skin without creating pinch points. To care for your helmet, wipe the shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents that may degrade the helmet's materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the shell and retention system.
