Just my luck

My helmet cheek pads seem to be making my skin break out. I washed them according to manufacturer’s instructions and thought that might help, but no luck.
I normally have clear skin and noticed irritation on both cheeks shortly after buying the helmet. My question is…has this happened to anyone else and what did you do about it?

What’s the make/model?

September 22, 2009 at 7:02 pm #22480WeaponZeroParticipantScorpion uses a weird material they call Kwikwik in the lining of their helmets. You won’t find anything like it in other helmets. It’s possible it could be the Kwikwik.
September 22, 2009 at 7:19 pm #22481eonParticipantI have the EXO400 and not had any problems but I seem to remember webbikeworld complained about the odd smell in new Scorpion helmets. I think mine had that odd smell but it was over a year ago so I cannot really remember now. Perhaps whatever causes that smell is causing your reaction?
September 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm #22489pixiedustParticipantOtherwise, I love the helmet. I’m going to try washing the pads one more time and maybe that will get rid of whatever I’m allergic to…what a bummer.
