Any suggestions on how to repair a helmet strap. I cut the extra strap length off my helmet and meant to take a lighter and burn the end so it didn't unravel. Someone was talking to me when I did it and sat the helmet down after cutting the extra off and forgot to burn the end. Put the helmet in my bag after riding and when I went to grab it out, it snagged and unraveled to the point of no return. Any suggestions on fixing it?

thanks.

 

The only thing I can think of is having an extra piece sewn onto the short end. Maybe the part you cut off. Depending on serious you take wearing a helmet and the safety aspect, I would worry that adding the addition would cause it to be a weak link god forbid you ever need to count on the helmet. I would also make sure the person sewing it uses an outdoor thread and knows what they are doing.

 

Maybe add one of those helmet strap quick release things they have in the J&P Cycles catalog

 

Take it to a shoe repair place that has a sewing machine or a saddle maker.

 

Or find the nearest parachute repair facility. They are skilled in sewing webbing and not loosing strength.

 

Be ready to be refused though. If I did sewing for a living, I wouldn't touch a helmet strap because of liabilities.

 

yeah, this....some type "E" cord with a single x box stich or a 4 point W should do ya right up.....if you have any military friends that are parachute riggers or your local skydiving facility should have the means

 

Buy a new helmet.
