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 retention system until the fit is snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap and adjust the side dividers so they sit just below the ears. Ensure the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet secure but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and jaw movement before every ride.
What to consider before purchase
- Measure your head circumference accurately to ensure the correct size selection.
- Verify that the helmet fit is stable and does not shift during movement.
- Check that the helmet is compatible with your preferred eyewear.
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or impact damage. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately, even if no external damage is visible. Clean the shell with mild soap and water, and allow the pads to air dry.
