C. FIT & USAGE

1. HOW TO PUT THE HELMET ON

1. Open the chinstrap and chinstrap comfort pad.
2. Pull apart the lower ends of the chinstrap.
3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.
4. Close and fasten the chinstrap.
5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fits snugly.

2. PROPER FIT

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 helmet size can increase the 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 helmet size for your head, follow the steps:

1. MEASURE HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE

Have someone help you measure your head circumference and choose a
helmet size close to that value. Refer to the helmet sizing table above.
WARNING
WARNING
Position the tape around your head, from the center of the forehead,
above the ears and over the natural bump at the back of the head.
Note: Tape must be snug but not tight. If measurements fall between two
sizes, order the larger size.

2. TRY ON THE HELMET

Grasp both chinstraps 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. Try the helmet with all the protection you plan to use (balaclava,
neck tube, face mask, etc.)

3. CHECK FOR A PROPER FIT

To make sure that 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.
This step might take several trials before finding the perfect adjustment.
