I have two Giro helmets. After adjusting the straps so they are appropriately snug under my chin, there is a fair amount of excess strap that just hangs down and looks stupid. I think there originally were some itty bitty plastic things to keep them out of the way, but those are long gone.

I'm thinking of cutting off the excess strap material, though I expect the ends might fray after I do this. I guess maybe I could apply some nail polish to them.

Anyway before I get the scissors, has anyone ever done this and learned the hard way that it's a bad idea?

Thanks!!

(I currently only have pale pink and red nail polish at home. I guess I could buy some clear nail polish. Though a dash of pale pink might be add a subtle festive touch...)
