Re: Ear Pressure
 

Had my helmet for a good few months but it's not been used enough for the foam to be worn - and previous journeys out on the bike was never an issue with this ear!
I'm stuck for ideas to sort it :(

Re: Ear Pressure
 

Could be you are folding your ear when putting on the helmet and not noticing it, sounds strange i know but does happen. Have a feel up inside the helmet when its on to make sure your ear is not folded over, or if you have remveable pads, whip them out and skim a wee bit off the side not in contact with your ear to give you a wee bit more room.
Another thought is the lining could be chaffing the ear, you could wear one of those tube thingys .

I found the autocom headset put a lot of pressure on my ear, and got painful after an hour or two, probably because the helmet was quite a tight fit to start with. You can get different types of headset which dont put pressure on the cartilage of your ear in - moulded in ear type which may be more comfortable though they are not cheap

I've felt it fold over and i do straighten it out :rolleyes:

I think i'll have to do some handywork with the pads - they are removable. I'm getting fed up of a roasted and red ear :smt022

Re: Ear Pressure
 

what earplugs do you use?
& the cleaning routine you use?

You could dig out some polystyrene for a cheap fix but wont make your helmet safer. This was what I was thinking of but not tried them http://www.ultimateear.com/
