Avoid chemicals
The helmet may be damaged and rendered ineffective by petroleum and petroleum
products, cleaning agents, paints, adhesives and the like, without the damage being
visible to the user. Do not clean the helmet with chemicals or other liquids that can
harm the integrity of the helmet.
Replace an old helmet or helmet with damage
A helmet absorbs the first blow in the event of a fall, which can prevent serious
injury. The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the shell
and liner. This damage may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a severe blow,
the helmet should be replaced. In any situation if subjected to a severe blow, the
helmets construction will be affected and should not be worn again, but destroyed
and replaced even if it appears undamaged. Helmet parts lose strength over time, so
even if the helmet has not been impacted or damaged, replace it after three years.
If you choose to do stunts or tricks, you should choose a helmet with more protection.
Anything between your head and 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. No attachments should be made to the helmet except those
recommended by the helmet manufacturer. This includes stickers or adhesive labels.
Avoid choking by not using this helmet 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 fit pads are machine washable in cold temperature. Do not put fit pad
sets in the dryer. The ventilation holes may allow penetration. Objects such as sticks,
stones or insects can pass through the holes to the interior of the helmet.
