HJC Cheek Pads for FS-15 Air Helmets
- Riders will sometimes need to change the cheek pads that come installed in their helmets; some people need a little more or less space, while others simply need to install a fresh set of pads for better comfort (and smell). Keep in mind however that with these new air cheek pads, you can adjust the fit to some degree simply by deploying the pump system buttons located in the chin bar of the helmet
- The pads both come out and can be installed quite easily
- Use the chart below to figure out what size cheek pad you currently have based on your helmet size, and then pick a replacement set based on your need
Please note: These cheek pads are not designed to work in older FS-15 helmets that don’t have the Air Pump System. If the helmet name doesn’t include the word “Air”, it doesn’t have the Air Pump System.
Here is a link to HJC’s website where you can download helmet manuals by model. You’ll find information on installing and removing shields, base plates, cheek pads, chin curtains, etc, as well as helmet care and cleaning.
Sizing Information
Use the table below to determine what size cheek pads came standard with your helmet:
Helmet Size | Cheek Pad Size | Shell Size |
---|---|---|
XS | 37mm | Medium |
Small | 32mm | Medium |
Medium | 27mm | Medium |
Large | 30mm | XXL |
XL | 25mm | XXL |
XXL | 17mm | XXL |
You can buy the same thickness of cheek pad if you like the fit of your helmet and just need a replacement set. Or you can buy a different thickness cheek pad to adjust fit as long as you buy a pad to fit the same shell size. The cheek pads for the XS, Small and Medium helmets are interchangeable since those three sizes share the medium helmet shell size. Likewise, the cheek pads for the Large, XL and XXL helmets are interchangeable since they all share the XXL shell size.
Changing cheek pads to change the helmet fit: To get MORE room in your helmet, you need to buy a THINNER cheek pad. To get a TIGHTER fit, you need to buy a THICKER cheek pad. Example: If you have a size Large FS-15 Air helmet, you have cheek pads that are 30mm thick. If the helmet is too tight on you, a 25mm or 17mm pad would give you more room.
