Fixing helmet crack?

Alright guys, needing some advice here.
Bought a new R.E.D. helmet last year, like it a lot, stickered it up, etc.
Well with ever taking an impact, it's got this crack.
Sort of on the brim and a little way up the front of the helmet, and I don't like it.
How can I go about repairing this?

if its foam is cracked, get a new one!
otherwise, epoxy might do the trick....

The foam is good, just the shell has a hairline crack.
Which brings up another question...will they warranty a helmet?
Like I said, never taken an impact, and it awesome shape. I just dunno why my new damn helmet got a crack.

If thats the case, then you should be able to get it warrantied. But if theyre are any visible signs of damage from a wipe out, then they might not.

You could try to warranty it, but I doubt they will give you a new one. Unless it is mint, with no marks of scuff whatsoever.

well if the foams fine then ur fine, and im not sure if gluing it back together would work, maybe try filling the crack with epoxy, or just put a sticker over it.
