helmet help! Can't Post

Help! My semi new (1 year and about 20 jumps) Oxygen helmet seems to be breaking already!! The fiberglass around the velcro tension point is cracking. Is there some sort of glue or epoxy that I can apply that will fix this problem and stop further cracking/erosion? Thanks for reading/replying!

Easy fix. Apply some cash to a new Z1!

I would take the matter up with the manufacturer. 20 jumps shouldn't cause cracking to start occurring. Something is wrong with their design or manufacturing process. Let 'em know, and ask them to make it right. See what they do for you.

Where do you keep this helmet stored? In direct sunlight? Near a heat source? Contact the manufacturer with your inquiry. And photos.

Contact the manufacturer...I've dealt with them on another matter and got great service.

If you do, let's us know how it goes in your case!

To those taking the time to read my post and respond appropriately, thank you. I will be taking your advice and contacting the mfg. To those futards ( F***** retards) who only have to suggest I fork out big money for a new helmet just like the one they have, you can take a long walk off a short pier! Re reaed my post you newly "huked on fonix" bastards! I need help to FIX my current helmet. If I wanted advice on what new helmet to buy, I would have written a different post. So don't bother replying or like some really dumb ass send me a PM saying buy a dome cover like his. Thank you again for those who truly wish to help. Peace/blessings and blues

Its not unknown to have a bad batch, so best bet contact them they may already be aware of a problem.
