Returns & Exchanges
Let’s get the fit right.
Helmet fit matters. If your order does not fit as expected, our support team can help determine whether the best solution is fit adjustment, replacement pads, or a helmet exchange.
Fit Assistance First
In many cases, helmet fit can be improved by changing cheek pad or crown pad thickness rather than exchanging the entire helmet. If your helmet feels too tight, too loose, or uneven in specific areas, contact Principal support before starting a return.
Depending on the helmet model, shell size, and fit concern, we may recommend alternative cheek pads, crown liners, or a helmet size exchange.
Helmet Exchanges
Unworn helmets may be eligible for exchange within 30 days of delivery. Fit-related exchanges may require consultation with our support team before authorization.

- All accessories, manuals, tags, and protective materials must be included
- Helmet must show no signs of road use, impact, installation marks, or damage
Helmet Returns
Eligible helmets may be returned within 30 days of delivery if they are new, unused, and complete with original packaging. Returned helmets are inspected before any refund or exchange is approved.
Helmets that show signs of wear, use, impact, odor, damage, or missing packaging may not be accepted.
Visors & Accessories

Return Shipping
Customers are responsible for return shipping unless otherwise approved by Principal support. Original shipping charges may not be refundable. We recommend using a trackable shipping service and keeping your tracking number until your return has been processed.
Need help with fit?
Before returning your helmet, contact support. We may be able to help dial in the fit with cheek pads, crown pads, or a better size recommendation.
