WARNING! No helmet can
protect the wearer from all
foreseeable high or low speed im-
pacts. However, for maximum
protection, the helmet must be
of proper fit and the chin strap must be
securely fastened as described in this
manual. Failure to have a proper fit and
to securely fasten the chin strap is dan-
gerous, as the helmet could come off
in an accident, resulting in severe head
injury or death.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed to corres-
pond to a head measurement (from for
XS up to XXL). To measure your head
size, wrap a tape measure horizon-
tally around your head at a height of
approximately one inch (2.5cm) above
your eyebrows. If your head measure-
ment falls between two sizes, first try
on the smaller helmet. However, be-
cause of different head shapes, this
size reference can only be considered
as a guide. For maximum protection, it
is necessary to check that the helmet is
well suited for the shape of your head.
When trying a brand new helmet, make
sure that your head is pushed into the
helmet as far as possible, with the front
part just above your eyebrows, and
with the chin strap securely fastened
as described on the next page.
1. The helmet should feel very snug all
around your head and fairly tight on the
cheek pads. If not, it is too big for you;
select a smaller size.
See figure A.
2. With the chin strap properly faste-
ned, be sure that the helmet cannot
be moved excessively from side to
side or up and down.You should feel
the skin of your head and face being
pulled as you move the helmet. If not,
the helmet is too big for you; select
a smaller size.
See figure B .
3. Grasp the back of the helmet at the
base and attempt to pull the helmet
off your head. Next, push the helmet
upwards from beneath the chin
guard. You should push and pull with
relatively significant force. If the helmet
starts to come off, the helmet is too big
for you; select a smaller size.
4. Bend your head forward as far as
possible. The chin guard must not
touch your chest.
See figure C .
5. Bend your head backwards as far
as possible. The helmet shell must not
touch your back.
See figure D .
Never wrap your hair inside the
helmet, or place anything in or on your
hair inside the helmet. Never insert
padding to modify the position of the
helmet on the head.
If you have any questions about pro-
perly sizing your helmet, see your re-
tailer for assistance.
Each of these tests must be repeated
throughout the life of the helmet, as the
comfort padding may wear or change
over time. If, during the life of your
helmet, your helmet does not maintain
the correct fit, you must replace the
helmet.
WARNING! Never lend your
helmet to others without insuring
a proper fit in accordance with these
instructions.
WARNING!
If you cannot obtain
a proper fit in accordance with
these instructions, DO NOT USE THE
HELMET. Select a different helmet size
or model.
