FITTING THE HELMET TO YOUR HEAD
This helmet can only protect you if it ts well. Be sure to try on differ-
ent sizes and choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on
your head. Never wear anything under your helmet.
POSITIONING
Wear the helmet low in
front to protect the forehead.
Do not wear the helmet tilted
back on the head (Figure A).
FIT
The helmet ts correctly when:
1. The padding holds the helmet rmly in place.
2. The straps have been adjusted, fastened and tightened so that the
helmet movement is limited.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET THE PROPER FIT:
1. Put the helmet on
a. Unthread the chin strap from the
Double D Rings.
b. Hold the straps out of the way with
your thumbs while you put the helmet
on (Figure. B)
c. Position the helmet correctly.
2. Adjust the t in the crown area
a. The padding should grip the crown of your head rmly,
but comfortably, all the way around.
b. To check the t, look in the mirror
and rotate the helmet from left to
right and enough to cause the skin
on your forehead to move as the
helmet moves (Diagram 1).
3. Fit the cheek area
a. The padding in the cheek area reduces side to side helmet
movement.
b. The padding should grip the sides of your face very rmly to do this.
4. Fasten the chin strap
a. Thread the loose end of the strap through the Double D-Rings as
shown in Figure C.
b. Pull on the end until the strap is snug, so it is almost uncom-
fortable, and well back against your throat.
c. When riding, always wear the helmet with the chin strap in this
position.
