How to use
To use the helmet, place it level on your head so that 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 ensure it is tightened sufficiently so that the helmet does not shift during movement. Always check that the straps are not twisted and that the buckle is securely clicked into place before starting your ride.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the helmet size matches your head circumference for optimal safety.
- Verify that the helmet style aligns with your specific type of cycling.
- Check the adjustment system to ensure it accommodates your head shape.
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of wear or damage, especially after an impact. Keep the shell clean by wiping it with a soft cloth and mild soap, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
