Where to Put Reflective Stickers on Your Helmet

Reflective stickers are great for increasing your visibility while riding. But there are some things you need to keep in mind when applying them to your helmet. Firstly, avoid placing them on the visor or vents. These areas can get damaged by sharp objects. Second, removing them can leave sticky residue.

Avoid putting stickers on vents

There are a few things you should do before you put reflective stickers on your bike vents. These stickers are not intended to be attached to brittle vents. Instead, they are intended to add aesthetic value to your bike. To remove the sticker, wash it in warm water. Then, use a rag to rub away the adhesive. You can also add dish soap to the rag and rub it over the sticker to remove the adhesive. Once the sticker has been removed, the helmet should look just like new.

Avoid putting stickers on visors

While reflective stickers are great for improving visibility, it is important to follow a few guidelines when applying them to your helmet. For starters, avoid placing stickers on the visor of your helmet. Stickers can be difficult to remove, especially if they adhere to the visor of your helmet with standard adhesive. A hair dryer or a fingernail can be used to heat the decal to remove it easily.

Remember to use a wide band of reflective tape if you want to maximize reflectivity. You can also test the reflectiveness of the tape using a flashlight held close to your eyes. But don’t forget to follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t follow these guidelines, you may get in trouble with the police.

Another important rule when putting reflective stickers on your helmet is to be aware of your personal safety. You are responsible for making sure you don’t endanger yourself or others. Using the wrong sticker can damage your helmet. Avoid stickers that have the same design as the helmet you are wearing.

You should always store your helmet properly to keep it safe. Avoid placing it on the handlebars, mirrors, or seat. It is also best to avoid touching the visor. This will ruin the anti-fog coating and make it more vulnerable to damage. Also, don’t ride with the visor up, as this can lead to a lot of dust.

Some people think it will be cool to tint their helmet visors. While this can give them a cool look, it may be dangerous. The visors can become as obstructed with tints and may not be as visible as they are in daylight. It’s also illegal in some jurisdictions to have visors tinted in this way.
