How do I clean the COOLPATH interior?

Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or loose
Adjust the 5-step snap fit on the rear cradle to a tighter setting or ensure the wide side dividers are properly positioned below the ears.
Sunglasses won't stay in the holder
Ensure the temple arms of your sunglasses are fully inserted into the designated ports; some thicker-framed glasses may require specific positioning.
Excessive airflow/cold head
The COOLPATH system is designed for maximum airflow; consider wearing a cycling cap or headband underneath in temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the HJC Valeco 2 performs as intended, start by adjusting the 5-step snap fit located on the rear cradle. Once you put the helmet on, the SELFIT system will naturally tension itself to your head shape. Avoid over-tightening; the system is designed to provide light, consistent pressure.
For compatibility, the wide adjustable divider allows for fine-tuning the strap position around your ears to prevent rubbing. Care is straightforward: wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Since the interior relies on the COOLPATH system rather than thick foam pads, it is easier to keep hygienic, but ensure you avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the in-mold structural material. Always store the helmet in the provided protective bag when not in use to prevent scratches to the shell finish.
