Thank you for choosing a KED helmet. Protective helmets are part of your personal
protection equipment and help avoid head injuries or at least significantly redu-
ce the consequences. Please take some time to read the following instructions
and information on adjusting your helmet. It is in the interest of your safety and
comfort.
Detailled information and illustrations can be found on the front pages.
1. General Information
According to the current technological standards, this cycling helmet represents
the best possible protection for your head against external adverse effects. It can,
however, never guarantee complete prevention of injuries. Our cycling helmets ful-
fil the European standard EN 1078.
All helmets correspond with the European Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and bear the
CE marking. Within the scope of this standard, helmets are tested for shock ab-
sorption, slipping, chin strap strength and coverage zones.
2. Selecting the right helmet size
A KED helmet can only protect you if it fits properly. Measure your head circumfe-
rence at the widest point and then select the right size.
The sizes of KED helmets are found on a label inside the helmet.
The helmet must feel safe and comfortable on your head. Try out different helmets;
you will notice initial differences straight away. Look in the mirror - your helmet
should suit you too.
3. Altering the size adjustment system
A good fit is a prerequisite for the best possible protection. This is why the hel-
met is equipped with the QuickSafe adjustment system. The head ring size can be
suitably adjusted by turning the adjustment wheel. If you turn the wheel in the „-“
direction the head ring tightens, and then releases when turned in the „+“ direction
(see figure 2).
4. Correct positioning
Always position the helmet horizontally on your head, so that your forehead is
protected but your vision is not impaired. Your helmet should not be positioned
towards the back of your head either (see figure 1).
5. Tight fit
You can check your helmet for a tight fit by shaking your head lightly with the chin
strap open. In doing so, the helmet should not slip. An optimal fit is necessary so
that the helmet fulfils its safety function 100%.
6. Strap adjustment
a)
If your helmet is equipped with a Quickstopp System (see fig. 4a or 4b), you can
fix your strap in the optimum position so that the strap always stays optimally set
for you. If your helmet does not have Quickstopp, continue reading at b), and if it
does, (fig. 4a) turn the Quickstopp in the „Off“ direction to release the strap or (fig.
4b) open the lever.
