Helmet fixable?

[NorthernSky]

broke the head strap adjustment jobby on my helmet
any chance of fixing this, not sure i'll be able to get a replacement part...
or is it a goner

 

[Gwylan]

No! Pucker up and get a new one
It's cheaper than fixing your head!

 

[Gwylan]

Oh really nice ones in Lidl at £9.99.

Mine got nicked with my bike so a replacement cost me £30.

Had it less than a year?
Kask will do 40% off a new one.

I'd expect him to get 100% if a new one if it's failed like that within a year!

Carnac £9 from wiggle light and airy.

How old is it? Doesn’t look new

 

[Venod]

That looks like something a drop of superglue will fix,

If it's less than 2 years old it is covered by Kask; contact email link at the foot of https://www.kask.com/en/support/faq.htm

Just shows you how flimsy the thing is, best bin it.

Aren't Carnac Planet X not Wiggle?

Looked and felt awful on me compared to my Kask
(and don't forget postage costs charged by PX, also for returns if it doesn't fit!)

Planet X have a stack of cheap helmets that are good. Ive got 3 of them. Given up spending mega money on a lid. They are good for gravel rash protection.

The sizing at PX is right. Just measure your head, and if nearer large, get the large. Medium won't go on my noggin.

I had a stupid off a couple of days ago and headbutted the floor. Helmet stopped gravel rash on my forehead, but not my lip and chin, nor both elbows, knee and the nasty gash in my forearm. Gravel rash on the scalp isn't funny.

Gone are the days when I'd buy the latest Bell super expensive helmet (£150) when a £15 PX one is as good and you don't worry if it needs to go in the bin.

Got to be a wind-up surely, trying to repair a 'safety' feature

Nah! In the spirit of the forum, some rubber solution and a couple of patches will do it. Next people will be replacing tyres just because the sidewall is split and you can see canvas on the tread area.

update: got in touch with Kask and they sent me a replacement retention system FOC
helmet is ready to rock again, pretty chuffed with that
