VENTILATIONS
VENTILATION INSIDE THE HELMET.
The upper air intake (Fig. A) allows air to enter onto
the upper part of the head and thus renew the air in
the head section. The channels incorporated in the
internal shock absorbers facilitate the circulation of
air over the surface of the head.
The quality and design of the textile comfort parts
contribute to the proper distribution of air. The posi-
tion of the upper ventilation system is designed to op-
timise the effectiveness of its intake of air. Depending
on the type of your motorbike, the fairing may reduce
the effectiveness of this ventilation.
The ventilation is in the open position when the
tongue is pushed backwards (1) and closed when the
tongue is pushed forwards (2).
LOWER VENTILATION.
The principal function of this air intake is to direct a
flow of fresh air over the interior surface of the visor in
order to limit the risk of misting. The fresh air diffused
cuts off contact with the hot air emitted by breathing
or even by the head inside the helmet.
To open (1) or close (2) the lower ventilation, press
the button as indicated.
WARNING! Do not open or close any vents
while operating your motorcycle. You could
lose control of your motorcycle, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.
AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS
The SKWAL has been carefully designed to offer you
the greatest pleasure in use.
The profile of the helmet, its impermeability and the
quality of the materials used enable air noise on the
crown of the head and aerodynamic turbulence to be
filtered as far as possible. In order for the use of your
helmet to be as pleasant as possible, it is important
for turbulence or air eddies created by the fairings not
to impair the aerodynamic qualities of your SKWAL
helmet. The shape of the fairings of your motorcycle
and/or your size should not cause air eddies to reach
the lower part of your helmet.
