Replacement Helmet Part - unable to obtain?

I reluctantly leant my wife my Kask Mojto helmet this weekend for an event, and typical of her careless nature, she has come back having lost the small velcro pad that velcro's itself over the top of the two straps where they tighten. It makes the strap comfortable on the chin and stops the 8 cm piece of spare strap flailng in the wind against your face.

I have looked online tirelessly for this 10p piece of fluff, and it doesn't exist anywhere. Does anyone know what it is called, or how to obtain something so that I don't have to go and shell out another £120 on a helmet please.

Thanks

    Use a bit of tape either insulation tape, zinc oxide or the like.

    Is there no alternative - there must be something somewhere to sells a strap tidy / cable tidy from velcro or the like?

    Get the missus to make a replacement if tapes too low rent for you.

    Can't be much of a helmet if such a vital small piece has dropped off. Your options are..... email the manufacturer, I did this with park tool and they sent it free from America, go in a shop and pinch it, or order a new one from wiggle and remove the part then send the helmet back. Or you could be like me and never lend anything to anybody!!

    Velcro cable tie is available - I use miles of the stuff at work - the only drawback for you is that it tends to come on reels of 100m or 1000m...

    That said I'm sure a quick search of eBay will yield a sensible quantity (like a metre) for a palatable sum, like this

    All of these had crossed my mind, and I am going into an Evans later.

    I will keep that link to velcro tape in mind too, thanks.

    She claims that it was on the hat when she left it in transition before she swam and then when she returned to do the bike part of the triathlon it had gone. But, she is disorganised and careless, so I am sure it would have fallen somewhere through her own carelessness. Lesson learnt, I was reluctant to lend it to her and as is usually the case she has proved herself to be untrustworthy.

    Jeez dude. Let's not have a divorce over this. You can get lots of things that will do the job. Most helmets have a bit of silicon rubber to do the job. You can pick up something like this for it.

    Toolstation do a multi pack of 80 that'll probably have one to fit. And cut off the excess. You don't need it.
