What are Comfort Strips and how do I use them?
Comfort strips are foam strips that allow you to customize the size of some of the Gath Helmets. At this time, the Surf Convertible (SFC) The EVA Sport Hat and the Gedi helmets use the Comfort Strips. Most helmets come with a specific size strip installed and include an extra strip that is one size larger to reduce the helmet size a bit further if needed. The Comfort Strip system allows a lot more adjustability in sizing and with some patience, ensures that everyone can get a perfect fit.
To simpily exchange comfort strips for a larger or smaller size, firmly grab the end of the installed strip and pull the entire piece out. Idenfity the strip you will install and ensure that the Comfort Strip and helmet are at least moderately warm (75 degrees F) You can leave the kit in the sun for a bit or use other mild heat source. If the adhesive is not warm enough it may not stick well.
Remove the backing strip. Place end of Comfort Strip into the channel at the back of the helmet at the centerline seam. Continue pushing the strip into the channel moving forward.
Firmly press the strip to achieve a good bond. Continue arond the circumference of the helmet. Cut the end as needed and butt the end against your starting point.
