General information
Choosing and purchasing a helmet
When you purchase a helmet, the most important moment is choosing the right size. If you have never
purchased a helmet, you probably don't know your own size. The size of a helmet is specified by the inner
circumference of the internal padding. The size number therefore corresponds to the head circumference
in centimetres.
Take your time when choosing a helmet. Try several, and follow these criteria:
Put the helmet on and fasten the strap:
The helmet should not be so loose that it moves around, but neither so tight that you can feel a
continuous pressure on your head
A helmet that is too large may slide down and obstruct your eyes
Try to pull it off, moving it back and forth: if it tends to slip off or move around, it is too large
Lean your head forwards, grip the helmet's rear edge, and try to pull the helmet off. If the helmet
slides off, it is not suitable for the shape of your head.
For Solar X 2, there are two versions of the polycarbonate outer shell, one larger for the sizes
60 and 61, and a smaller version for sizes 54-59. It is important to choose the correct version. If
you are in doubt whether to opt for the larger helmet with size 60, or the smaller helmet with size
59, we recommend choosing the larger version. The larger helmet can be adjusted using the
replaceable inner caps as described in this manual. On the other hand, there is no way of adjusting
the smaller size 59 helmet if it feels too tight.
If, while trying on the helmet, it does not perform satisfactorily for just one of these criteria, you should try
another size or another model.
How to try on a helmet with headset
When you are trying on a helmet whose shell has an opening in correspondence with the ears, because they
are designed to be used with headsets (whether for noise reduction or radio communications), it is essential
to fasten the chinstrap correctly and position the headphone cups (swing them down into the closed
position) over the ears.
