A Helmet In Your Size - Shark Explore-R Manual Del Usuario

A hElmET IN yOuR SIzE

For a helmet to provide effective protec-
tion while remaining comfortable, it has to be
perfectly suited to its user. Choosing the correct size
is essential.
• Measure the circumference of your head with a
tape measure, positioning it about 2,5 cm above your
eyebrows : this is where your head is the largest.
Once you have taken this measurement, compare it
to the table of sizes. Try the size of Explore-R helmet
closest to the measurement obtained, starting with
the size smaller than your head measurement.
If you feel that the contact is too hard, try the size
larger. Your head should be held quite firmly but you
should feel no discomfort.
Tests for size must be carried out with the chin
strap tightened (please refer to the section on
page 8 for instructions on tightening the chin strap).

Check that you have good vertical and horizontal
visibility. Check that your head can carry out all of these
movements without any particular discomfort.
Check that when the chin strap is tightened,
the helmet cannot be removed from your head when
you try to move it forward by force.
If the helmet comes off or nearly comes off,
it is too big or else the chin strap is not correctly
tightened. Keep trying on helmets until you find the
ideal size.
WARNING : do not lend your helmet, even for
a short journey, if its size is not perfectly suitable.
For each use of your helmet, it is absolutely necessary
to make sure that the helmet is well positioned on
your head, and that the chin strap is properly adjusted,
following the instructions of this manual (p. 8).
