Adjusting the Helmet
Bontrager offers several shell sizes to fi t different head sizes. To check the shell
size of your helmet, put it on your head in the correct position (see Figure 1 and
Figure 2), but do not fasten the buckle. A good fi t is snug, but not tight.
Note: All directions (left, right, top, bottom) are in reference to the helmet as
worn on the head.

3. Slide the strap adjustor on the left temple strap (Figure 4) until the strap
adjustor sits just beneath your left earlobe.

strap (Figure 4) through the nape adjustor.
The left buckle should almost touch the strap adjustor.

Helmets vary in both design and protection.
This helmet is designed for
use in recreational bicycle riding; it does not offer the same protection as a
helmet designed for use in rock climbing, roller-skating, or skiing. Make sure
your helmet is designed and intended for your type of bicycle riding. If you
choose to do stunts or tricks, ride off-road, or ride at high speeds, you should
choose a helmet with more protection.
Anything between your head and the helmet can reduce the
protection.
A cap, scarf, or even some high-volume hairstyles might allow
the helmet to move during an impact. Barrettes, headphones, or anything else
under your helmet can injure you if the helmet is impacted.
Do not modify the helmet.
No attachments should be made to the helmet
except those recommended by the helmet manufacturer. This includes
stickers or adhesive labels.
Avoid choking.
This helmet should not be used by children while climbing
or doing other activities where there is a risk of hanging or strangulation if the
child gets trapped whilst wearing the helmet.
Keep your helmet clean.
Wash it with a solution of mild soap and water.
The fi t pads are machine washable in cold temperature, gentle cycle. Do not
put fi t pad sets in the dryer. You can also buy new fi t pads from your dealer.
Ventilation holes may allow penetration.
Sticks, stones, or insects can
pass through the holes to the interior of the helmet.
WARNING
Replacement Policy
If your helmet is impacted within the fi rst year of ownership, Bontrager will
replace it at no charge. Ship the helmet, postage prepaid, with a copy of your
receipt and a description of the accident. We will send you a new helmet upon
receipt of your crashed helmet.
