How do i let the air out of my new football helmet?

Question

I just got a new football helmet today during practice, a Schutt Air XP helmet. It's kind of tight and i need to know if just a regular pump needle will get the air out without harming the helmet. can someone help me out here?

Answer 1

Yes you take one of the pumps to put air in the helmet and unscrew the needle off of it then stick the needle in the hole either in the top or back of it. Then l**k your finger and put it right over the hole with the needle in it and feel for the air coming out of it.

Answer 2

Yea just put one of those needles in it and push the air out. No damage done.

Answer 3

you cant put air in a helment
