Choosing The Correct Helmet Size; Proper Fitting - ICON AIRFORM Series Owner's Instruction Manual

CHOOSING THE CORRECT HELMET SIZE

Helmet fit is critical to helmet protective performance. Different helmets fit
differently due to differences in design and construction. The correct helmet size
can only be checked and confirmed by physically fitting the helmet to the user.
Always try the helmet on in a store, before purchasing it, to be sure you are
purchasing the correct sized helmet for you.
1. Wrap flexible tape measure approximately one inch above eyebrows and ears.
2. Use this measurement to find your "inches" or "centimeters" head size in our
helmet sizing chart.
SAFETY WARNING: 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 instructions.
SAFETY WARNING: The helmet size chart is only for reference. Always try the helmet on and follow this manual's instruction for
proper fitting. If you are unable to find a size of this helmet style that fits you properly, please try another certified helmet style.
WARNING: For adequate protection, this
helmet must fit snugly and be securely
attached.

PROPER FITTING

No helmet can protect the user against all foreseeable impacts. For your safety, please choose a helmet in the correct size for
your head (refer to the helmet size chart previous page). For maximum head protection, your helmet must also fit properly and
the retention system must be securely fastened under the chin.

To check and ensure a proper fit, please follow the steps below:
1. Position the helmet on your head so that it sits low on your forehead. If you can't see the edge of the brim at the extreme
upper range of your vision, the helmet is probably out of place. Adjust the retention system so that, when in use, it will hold
the helmet firmly in place. Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
2. With the chinstrap still fastened as tightly as possible, take hold of the helmet with both hands. Without moving your head,
try to move the helmet up and down, and from side to side. You should feel the skin of your head and face being pulled as
you try to move the helmet. If you can move the helmet around easily, it is too big. Try a smaller size.
3. Now, with the chinstrap secured, put your hands flat on the back of the helmet and try to pull the helmet off by rotating it
forward. Then, put your hands on the front of the helmet, and try to push the helmet off by rotating it toward the rear. If the
helmet starts to come off in either direction, the helmet is either too large, or the chinstrap is not fastened tightly enough.
If helmet comes off, try another size or another model.
Please note that the face shield is adjustable. Try the helmet with the face shield in all positions, prior to purchase, to make sure
that the helmets meets your requirements and that the face shield does not interfere with your vision when in the open position.
These steps should be repeated until you are able to find the right size helmet for you.
