WARNING: No helmet can
protect the wearer from all fo-
reseeable high or low speed impacts.
However, for maximum protection,
the helmet must be of proper fit and
the chin strap must be securely fas-
tened as described in this manual.
Failure to have a proper fit and to se-
curely fasten the chin strap is dange-
rous, as the helmet could come off in
an accident, resulting in severe head
injury or death.
CHOOSE
YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed
to correspond to a head
measurement (from for XS up to XL).
To measure your head size, wrap a
tape measure horizontally around
your head at a height of approxima-
tely one inch (2.5cm) above your
eyebrows. If your head measurement
falls between two sizes, first try on
the smaller helmet. However, be-
cause of different head shapes, this
size reference can only be considered
as a guide. For maximum protection,
it is necessary to check that the hel-
met is well suited for the shape of
your head. When trying a brand new
helmet, make sure that your head is
pushed into the helmet as far as pos-
sible, with the front part just above
your eyebrows, and with the chin
strap securely fastened as described
on the next page.
1. The helmet should feel very snug
all around your head and fairly tight
on the cheek pads. If not, it is too big
for you; select a smaller size.
See figure A.
2. With the chin strap properly faste-
ned, be sure that the helmet cannot
be moved excessively from side to
side or up and down.You should feel
the skin of your head and face being
pulled as you move the helmet. If not,
the helmet is too big for you; select
a smaller size. See figure B.
3. Grasp the back of the helmet at the
base and attempt to pull the helmet
off your head. Next, push the hel-
met upwards from beneath the chin
guard. You should push and pull with
relatively significant force. If the hel-
met starts to come off, the helmet is
too big for you; select a smaller size.
4. Bend your head forward as far as
possible. The chin guard must not
touch your chest. See figure C.
5. Bend your head backwards as far
as possible. The helmet shell must
not touch your back. See figure D.
Never wrap your hair inside the
helmet, or place anything in or on your
hair inside the helmet. Never insert
padding to modify the position of the
helmet on the head.
If you have any questions about
properly sizing your helmet, see your
retailer for assistance.
Each of these tests must be repeated
throughout the life of the helmet, as
the comfort padding may wear or
change over time. If, during the life
of your helmet, your helmet does not
maintain the correct fit, you must re-
place the helmet.
Never lend your helmet to others
without insuring a proper fit in accor-
dance with these instructions.
WARNING: If you cannot obtain
a proper fit in accordance with
these instructions, DO NOT USE THE
HELMET. Select a different helmet
size or model.
