Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi Amy The band " should " just fall into place when you put it on. I DOUBT seriously that you are putting it on wrong. If is having red spots that do not fade then the band needs adjusting, and there is no arguing that. Redspots that do not go away within one hr are skin breakdown material that will cause to be out of the helmet for days at best. Your ortho should make you feel more than welcome to call anytime for issues like this. Please let us know how it goes, and what they will do about it. I would not put the band back on if it is causing the red marks beyond the hr point.
