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 it causes 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.
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.
When compared with the jet, or open-face helmet, a full-face helmet also guarantees protection for the chin
area. Consider this carefully when you are choosing your helmet.
Never purchase a second-hand helmet, even if the price is good. There is no way of discerning its real
conditions (whether it has been involved in an accident, etc.).
Structure of the Divo helmet
Outer shell

Divo is made with a fibreglass outer shell, giving it
high perforation resistance, strength, elasticity,
and lightness.
