FITTING THE HELMET TO YOUR HEAD
This helmet can only protect you if it fits well. Be sure to try on different sizes and choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on your head.
FOLLOW THESE FIVE SIMPLE STEPS TO LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY FIT AND WEAR YOUR HELMET. YOU WILL NEED A MIRROR
STEP 1: WEAR IT IN THE PROPER POSITION |

IMPORTANT: All fitting adjustments MUST be made with the helmet in the proper position. Failure to do so will result in a poor fit. This will allow the helmet to move out of position or come off in an accident.
STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE STRAPS
The front and rear straps should join at a point slightly below and in front of (but not covering) the ears. See Figure 2.

STEP 3: ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP
Always wear the helmet with the chin strap buckle fastened and the strap pulled tight. Make sure the strap is well back against the throat, NOT on the point of the chin. Straps worn on the point of the chin increase the chance of the helmet coming off in an accident. Position the buckle away from your jawbone. Figures 3 and 4 show how to fasten and release the buckle and Figure 5 shows proper placement of the chin strap.

WARNING! |

Make sure the loose end of the strap passes through |
|
the rubber “O” ring. If it does not, the strap may slide |
|
loose and the helmet can come off accidentally. |
