STEP 4: GETTING THE CORRECT FIT
The helmet fits correctly when it is held firmly but comfortably in place by the
interior fit pads. Adjustments are made by varying the thickness of the interior
pads and by varying the position and tension of the straps.
The front fit pad should lightly touch your forehead. If it does not, replace it
with the thicker pad provided. If it still does not, try a smaller size helmet.
When correctly adjusted, you should feel a slight pressure at the back of your
head, and the front pad will push firmly, but comfortably against your forehead.
STEP 5: CHECKING THE FIT AND ADJUSTMENTS
Before using the helmet, make sure it fits correctly, the straps are
correctly adjusted, and the chin strap is tight enough. Put the helmet on
in the correct position. Fasten the chin strap and pull it tight. Stand in
front of the mirror.
A. Check the Fit
Grab the helmet with both hands and twist it to the left and to
the right. If the helmet fits right, the skin on the forehead will
move as the helmet moves. If it does not, the helmet is too
loose. Return to Step 4.
B. Check the Straps
Grab the helmet with both hands and try to remove it by rolling the helmet
forward and backward as far as you can. Make a serious effort. This is
important. If you can roll it off the head completely in either direction, roll it
forward so far that it blocks vision, or roll it backward far enough to expose
the forehead, it doesn’t fit right. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until helmet move
ment is minimal.
WARNING!
If you cannot adjust the helmet to fit properly according to Step 5,
DO NOT USE THIS HELMET. Replace it with a different size or model.
