Important Safety Information
The instructions in this manual are designed to help you select the right helmet, wear it properly,
take care of it, and know when to replace it. Failure to follow these instruction may increase your
risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
In order to get the most protection possible from your helmet, you should always do the following:
Wear your helmet when you ride;
Handle your helmet carefully to avoid accidental damage; and
Ride safely – do not take risks because you are wearing a helmet.
Although your HJC helmet is designed to reduce or prevent some injuries when worn, no helmet can
protect you from all possible or foreseeable impacts. For example, your helmet cannot protect you from
spinal or neck injuries. In addition, there is no guarantee that your helmet will PREVENT injuries to the
area of your head that is covered. A low speed accident may even result in serious injury or death.
Selecting the Right Helmet
Never buy a used helmet or borrow someone else's helmet.
Over time the protective foam in helmets will adjust to the contours of a user's head.
A used or borrowed helmet may not offer as much protection as a new helmet.
Wearing the wrong size helmet can increase your risk of serious injury or death in an
accident. A helmet that is too large for your head may be dislodged or knocked off in
an accident. To select the right size helmet for your head, follow these instruction :
1. Measure your head. Wrap a tape measure around your head about one inch (2.5cm) above your
eyebrows.
2. Use the sizing chart to select the helmet size that corresponds most closely to your head measurement.
If your head size falls between two helmet sizes, try on the larger helmet first and then the smaller size.
The size chart is only for reference. Always try the helmet on and follow this manual's
instructions for a proper fit.
3. Try on the helmet by grasping both chin straps to pull the helmet completely onto your head,
ensuring that the top of your head is in contact with the top of the helmet interior.
4. Check for a proper fit. To make sure your helmet is the right size, check that :
● The helmet inner lining fits snugly around your head.
● The top pad presses firmly on your head.
● The cheek pads contact your cheeks.
● There is no space around your brow under the inner lining.
Test this by trying to insert your fingers.
If the helmet does not fit snugly, try on a smaller size.
5. Check your field of vision when trying on a helmet. Some helmets may obstruct or block your vision
when looking left, right, up, or down.

6. Test the helmet fit by placing your hands on each side of the helmet.
While holding your head as motionless as possible, try rotating
your helmet from left to right then up and down. If you can feel
the helmet padding sliding on your head, it is too big, try a size
smaller. You should feel the helmet move the skin on your
head and face as you try to move the helmet.
7. Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain.
There must be no slack in the strap, and the strap must be tight up against your jaw. See page 5-6.
8. Test the retention system (chin strap)
●
Put your hands on the back of the helmet and try to push
the helmet off by rotating it forward.
●
Put your hands on the front of the helmet above your forehead
(or on the chin guard) and try to push the helmet off by rotating
backward.
If helmet comes off or shifts over your eyes, try another size or another model or brand.
You must be able to see the edge in your upper field of vision.
Repeat steps 3 throught 8 until you find a helmet that fits your head snugly and securely.
