Out of the box problem

So to be fair I'm trying to fix the problem right now but out of the box the helmet is comfortable and easy to put on. I checked the old light bulb at home, there are no problems, it works fine. This is where the good ended today. I went to the store, punched and bent, and once I finished the run, the helmet didn't leave the car in the dark. Changed the sensitivity and delay settings, nothing, cycling the mode switch brings the screen out of auto-dimming, but once the arc strikes it returns to where it started without turning off. I will leave it in the sun for a few minutes to see if charging makes a difference and will order new batteries as well. If it's that easy to solve those two problems then I have no problem with it and I think it's a great helmet. If not I will return.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Updates
