How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head, ensuring it covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Adjust the rear dial fit system until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side buckles so that the straps form a V-shape under your ears. Ensure the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet in place but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and jaw movement.
