X Lite 802r Helmet Paint Flaking

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Steve m, May 29, 2016.

  1. Hi all, bought an X lite 802 r three months ago from the sportsbike shop via eBay, the helmet has had light use, not used to commute etc, just the odd Sunday riding, never been dropped etc, but I noticed today that the paint has lifted just above the bottom rubber trim
    Anyone dealt with the sportsbike shop, regarding returning an item?
    Where do I stand, am I likely to get a new helmet out of them, or am I better off dealing with Nolan/ X lite direct ?
    Cheers

  2. I'd drop the sportsbike shop an email with attached pics and see what their response is 1st.
     
  3. I have an X Litr Ago rep. The paint has peeled above the visor area around the vents. Quite a bit missing.
    Where the paint has gone it's clear the surface was never prepped, it's a pristine shiny white helmet underneath.
    I suspect it's one of the ways Nolan can keep their prices lower than the competition
