That's the helmet I ride with.
So many people give me such a hard time about it,

So these helmets have little foam inserts inside, held on with Velcro,
that get old and flat with age.
So I replaced them with some inserts I removed out of my kids old skateboard helmet.
In doing so, I covered up that little vent.
It's been five months, I just noticed.
