Abstract
A fit adjustment system for a helmet is described. An example fit adjustment system includes a first flexible layer and a second flexible layer joined to the first flexible layer to form a two-layer structure. A lower portion extends below a bottom edge of the helmet when the helmet is worn, and the two-layer structure is sufficiently flexible for repeated folding into the helmet's cavity when not worn. A dial housing is fixed between the first and second flexible layers and includes a dial seat which is exposed through a dial opening in the first flexible layer. A lace-tightening system operatively associated with the dial housing and includes a dial and at least one lace engaged with the dial. The lace is routed through left and right lace guides protruding through the first flexible layer.
