CLEANING
Wipe only with a soft damp cloth in gentle soap or mild detergent in cold water, rinse by wiping
with a soft cloth damped in cold water and dry with a soft cloth. Comfort padding and cheek
pads can be removed and hand washed and air dried.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
After each use, allow your helmet to air dry and then store in a cool, dry place. Do not expose
your helmet to impact or external force during transport. Helmets will be damaged if exposed
to temperatures exceeding 65°C. Vehicles and storage bags can exceed this on very hot days.
Heat damaged helmets will have random disfigured areas where the texture appears bubbly
and uneven. If damaged, helmets should be destroyed and replaced immediately.
MAINTENANCE AND OBSOLESCENCE
For maximum performance, your TSG product must be inspected prior to each use. Stop
using the helmet if any components show signs of damage or are worn, cracked, and/or de-
formed, or if the inside foam has deteriorated. Helmets have a limited life span in use and
should be replaced every 3-5 years under normal use conditions, but at the latest after 8
years from date of manufacture (see product label). If you know or suspect that your helmet
has been damaged or exposed to any abnormal force, destroy, and replace it. Please dispose
of it in an environmentally-friendly manner. Do not make any modifications to the helmet, this
includes the outer shell, the inner EPS li-ner or chin strap, any modifications will void all war-
ranties and affect the helmet's performance.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to fulfill its protective function, your helmet must be perfectly adjusted to your head.
Measure your head at its widest point, compare it to the sizing chart available on a label inside
the helmet, and try on several sizes until you find the correct fit that stays on comfortably,
steadily and securely.
1. Put on the helmet in a manner so that it sits straight on your head and covers your forehead,
without blocking your vision. It is important that the helmet can neither ride up your forehead nor
be pushed down over your eyes. The helmet should fit comfortably; so that it holds onto your head
as you move it front and back, as well as side-to-side (FIG. 1).
2. The comfort pads inside the helmet should exert firm, even, but comfortable pressure against
your head. The helmet fits well if the pads are in contact with all sides of your head around the
helmet's interior. A helmet that fits well also fits comfortably without being too tight.
3. When you are satisfied with the fit, tighten the chin strap. The chin strap should be as tight as
possible but without causing pain. Never wear your helmet with the buckle unfastened. Helmet
adjustment can change during riding and storage. Check the helmet for proper adjustment and
fit prior to each bicycle ride
Never wear your helmet with the buckle unfastened. Helmet adjustment can change during riding
and storage. Check the helmet for proper adjustment and fit prior to each bicycle ride.
