Protect Your Eyes
Always wear a face shield or goggles while riding. Some models come equipped with a face shield as standard
equipment. If eye protection is not provided with the helmet, it is YOUR responsibility to obtain eye protection and
use it. Tinted face shields, goggles, or other forms of eye protection should not be used at night or under other
conditions of poor visibility. Lenses damaged by scratches will reduce visibility, especially at night, and should be
replaced. Petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce the mechanical
strength of shields and goggles.
mWARNING!
Failure to use proper eye protection can cause an accident and result in serious injury or death.
Check For Adequate Vision
Always check for adequate vision. For example, when helmets are used in conjunction with goggles or other eye
coverings, vision restrictions can occur. Make sure your motorcycle is equipped with effective mirrors, and use
them for peripheral vision to enhance your direct vision of traffic and other riding hazards. It is the responsibility
of each user to assure the adequacy of his or her vision prior to using this helmet.
mWARNING!
Never use a helmet or eye protection which restricts your vision so that you are unable to safely operate your
vehicle.
Check for Adequate Hearing
Research has shown that in many cases shielding the ears from wind noise results in the ability to more
accurately detect important traffic sounds (such as horns and sirens).
mWARNING!
It is the responsibility of each user to determine which helmet model is best suited to his or her needs and
preferences. Helmet models that cover less of the head provide less impact protection and may be more
susceptible to helmet ejection, which can result in injury or death. It is also the helmet user’s responsibility to
determine his or her ability to hear important traffic sounds while wearing and using this helmet.
Accessories
Using accessories not intended for use with your helmet can be dangerous.
mWARNING!
Never rigidly attach anything to the outside of your helmet. If struck in an accident it can cause the force of the
blow to be more concentrated and greatly increase your chance of injury or death. Never mount a rigid object to
the inside of your helmet. If struck in an accident it could become a projectile, greatly increasing the chance of
injury or death. Never drop your helmet, as this may cause damage which is invisible to you.
