- Riders will sometimes need to change the cheek pads that come installed in their helmets. Some people need a little more or less space, while others simply need to install a fresh set of pads for better comfort (and smell).
- The pads both come out and can be installed quite easily. Simply slide the pad into the shell and snap the closures into place.
- Use the chart below to figure out what size cheek pad you currently have based on your helmet size, and then pick a replacement set based on your need.

Changing cheek pads to change the helmet fit:All sizes of cheek pads are interchangeable in all helmet sizes.To get MORE room in your helmet, you need to buy a SMALLER cheek pad.To get a TIGHTER fit, you need to buy a LARGER cheek pad.Example: If you have a size Large Hornet X2 helmet, you have cheek pads that measure 35mm.If the helmet is too tight on you, a 31mm pad would give you more room.If it’s too loose, a 39mm pad would snug up the fit.
