How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head so that it covers your forehead without obstructing your vision. Use the rear adjustment dial to tighten the fit until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side sliders so that the straps form a V-shape just below your ears. Ensure the buckle is securely clicked into place before starting your ride.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify your head circumference measurement to ensure it falls within the 50-56 cm range
- Check compatibility with your preferred cycling eyewear
- Consider the intended riding environment to ensure the ventilation level meets your needs
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or damage, especially after an impact. Clean the outer shell with mild soap and water, and ensure the inner pads are washed periodically to maintain hygiene. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
