Hedtec Helmet lifting
Hi guys,
At the moment I have got a Hedtec Demon helmet but I get really severe lift at speed, no mater how much I tilt my head down I can't stop it from
lifting.
Is there anything modifications I can do (e.g stick on airfoil) or am I going to need a new helmet?
Thanks Simon

Gaffs tape 
Mine lifts too but you have to be going over 100 for it to feel severe

This one looks ok, does anyone know if the chin skirt really works?

That would be brilliant if you don't mind, it wouldn't be until the weather warms up a bit
Do you have one with the chin skirt I could try?

I bought one of these on a whim after seeing the link and reading reviews on other websites (amazon etc). I ordered it from ProLine Sports last
Tuesday at midday and it arrived with me on Wednesday, amazing service for a total price of less than £15.
The item itself has sticky rubbery material that holds onto the bottom of your helmet and is made from a neoprene material. On arriving at Elvington
yesterday there was torrential rain. Never the less, I went out with WindJammer II attached and it seemed 'ok' - but my helmet kept
steaming up due to the spray and rain.
I removed the WindJammer II and went out for another session. On the back straights I was reaching speeds of 110mph and the helmet was being pulled
off my head (the chin strap was done up very tight). It was like my helmet wasn't even there.
I did a few laps and then had some food - re-fitted my Windjammer and went back out for a dry(ish) session. Now that the rain had stopped the visor
didn't steam up and I was achieving a greater speed down the straight (125+mph) and the difference was like night and day. No head bobbing out
or 'pain' from the force of the wind.
Highly highly recommended. I won't be going out without it fitted now.
