Where should there be no gaps in a helmet's padding?

• A. There should be a small gap between temples and brow pads.
• B. The brow pads should be completely loose around the temple area.
• C. The brow pads should be adjusted to avoid contact with the temples.
• D. There should be no gaps between your temples and brow pads.

Answer: (D)

Proper helmet fit relies on the padding making solid contact with your head, especially at the brow and temples. When there are no gaps between the temples and brow pads, the helmet stays centered and stable, reducing movement and helping maintain a protective seal. Gaps here can let the helmet shift or slide, which compromises protection and can create pressure points. So the brow pads should press snugly against the temples and forehead rather than loose or leaving any space.
