A Helmet In Your Size - Shark Vancore Manual

a HelMetS in yoUr SiZe
For a helmet to provide effective pro-
tection while remaining comfortable, it has to
be perfectly suited to its user.
Choosing the correct size is essential.
Measure the circumference of your head
with a tape measure, positioning it about 2
cm above your eyebrows: this is where your
head is the largest. Once you have taken this
measurement, compare it to the table of sizes.
Try the size of Vancore helmet closest to the
measurement obtained, starting with the size
smaller than your head measurement.
If you feel that the contact is too hard, try
the size larger.
Your head should be held quite firmly but you
should feel no discomfort.
Tests for size must be carried out with the
chin strap tightened (please refer to the sec-
tion on page 8 for instructions on tightening the
6
chin strap). Check that you have good vertical
and horizontal visibility.
Check that your head can carry out all of
these movements without any particular dis-
comfort.
Check that when the chin strap is tightened,
the helmet cannot be removed from your head
when you try to move it forward by force. If
the helmet comes off or nearly comes off, it is
too big or else the chin strap is not correctly
tightened.
Keep trying on helmets until you find the
ideal size.
Warning! do not lend your helmet, even for
a short journey, if its size is not perfectly
suitable. For each use of your helmet, it is
absolutely necessary to make sure that the
helmet is well positioned on your head, and
that the chin strap is properly adjusted, fol-
lowing the instructions of this manual.
