How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head, ensuring it covers your 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 your ears. Ensure the strap is tight enough to keep the helmet secure but loose enough to allow for comfortable breathing and swallowing.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the helmet size matches your head circumference for a secure fit.
- Check that the helmet style aligns with your specific cycling discipline.
- Verify that the retention system allows for easy adjustment while wearing gloves.
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the helmet shell and straps for signs of wear or damage. Replace the helmet immediately if it has been involved in an impact, as its protective capabilities may be compromised even if no external damage is visible.
