PROPER FITTING OF YOUR AFX HELMET
Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using
a flexible tape measure. Generally, the widest part of a person’s head
is the area 2.5cm (1”) above the eyes and ears. However, we suggest
measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine
the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables. We also
suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger
then what the chart recommends. No helmet can provide protection if
it’s too uncomfortable to wear.
Helmets must fit snugly, but not painfully tight. While holding the
chinstraps outside of the helmet, pull it down over your head, taking
care that the chinstraps do not go up inside the helmet. A proper-fitting
helmet will feel snug with fairly even pressure around the sides and top
of your head. On most modern helmets the liner is designed to be a little
extra snug at first, but will break-in after several hours of riding to match
the particular shape of your head.
