WARNING CORRECTLY USING THE CHIN STRAP
A good fit and a properly fastened chin strap are all that keep the helmet on
your head during an accident. Make sure the chin strap is correctly fastened
and pulled snugly up against your throat each time you wear your helmet. To
correctly fasten the strap, buckle the chin strap as shown in Illustration 4,
then adjust the side strap until the strap is snugly against your throat.
Step 3: CHECKING THE FIT
Correctly position the helmet on your head and stand in front of a mirror.
Gently rotate the helmet first from left to right and then from front to back, as
in Illustration 5. If the skin on your brow moves with the helmet as it is
rotated, the fit is proper. If the skin on your brow does not move when the
helmet is rotated in either direction, the fit is too loose. Try various sizes until
you find one that fits correctly. With the helmet properly positioned, and the
chin strap fastened, try to remove the helmet from your head. Grasp it
securely and make a serious effort to roll it off your head in both the forward
and backward directions. If you can remove the helmet or are able to roll the
helmet backward far enough to expose your forehead or forward far enough
to block your vision, the helmet either fits too loosely or the straps are not
properly adjusted.
If the helmet is too large or if you can still remove the helmet, DO NOT use it
and replace with a smaller size.
Repeat steps 1 through 3
If you cannot remove the helmet and it does not roll either backward far
enough to expose your forehead or forward far enough to block your vision,
you have a proper fit. We recommend fitting the helmet with a head sock or
balaclava if you intend to wear one in competition.
