Re: Where is slot on your helmet?

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl,

On our DOCband the slot (about 1/2 " wide) is over the right ear on

the flat side, but not over the flat spot itself. On our STARband

the slot was over the left ear, but it closed completely, so it

didn't really affect the fit of the helmet. I can understand the

concept of having the slot over the flat spot for daytime use (less

pressure), but when he sleeps on it, does it stay away from the

head? That would be my main worry - that there is always some 'room

to grow' over the flat spot.
