We bought the helmets since supposedly they are the only ones that sync to this BMW bike. There is a small, round, stiff piece of velcro underneath the lining and in the memory foam. I thought this was the problem and took the velcro out today since it feels like something is poking my head. We just got back from a ride. It was a little better, but now I think the problem is the deep threaded seam in the liner. The helmet fits well everywhere except right at the top of my forehead where this seam on the liner is located. I wonder how necessary the liner is? I will email them again and see what they say.
Here is Schuberth's reply to the original email that I sent a few days ago:
"Thank you for your support of the Schuberth brand, and for taking the time to contact us. I’m sorry that the helmets are causing you some discomfort, but can assure you that with proper break in time, they will adjust to your individual head shapes more and will become much more comfortable.
Breaking in a new helmet is similar to breaking in a good pair of quality shoes or boots. While some tennis or athletic shoes can be worn easily right out of the box, many shoes and boots require time to adjust to your feet. I would never suggest anyone get a new pair of boots and start out on a long kike, and the same is true of the Schuberth helmet.
Break in time is a function of time, miles, and frequency of use. The more short trips you take with it, the faster is will break in, generally speaking. To help accelerate the break in process, you can remove and launder the interior pads. This will soften them some, and can adjust how your head sits into the helmet. Another factor in break in time is how localized the pressure is. If it’s an all-over general squeeze, then you will notice results more quickly. The more localized the pressure, the longer it will take to dissipate.
The idea of breaking in a helmet is not unique to our brand, but ours does tend to take a bit longer than some others I have used. In my own personal C3, it was pretty uncomfortable early on, and now it’s an all-day helmet for sure."
Thank you guys for all of your advice!
