HOW TO FIT YOUR
HELMET A cycling helmet can only protect you if it
fits well. Make sure you try on different sizes and choose the size
which feels secure and comfortable on your head. If properly
fitted, this helmet is designed to stay on your head in an
accident. To customize the fit use the enclosed adhesive-backed
sizing pads.
HOW TO ADJUST
THE STRAPS
First, position the helmet on your head so that the
front is level with the back and parallel to the ground. Your
helmet should not be tilted back on your head (figure
1). When the helmet is level with your head you want both
the front and rear straps to be even, with the Tri Loc strap guides
positioned just below the ears (figure 2). If your
straps are uneven they can be adjusted by pulling them through the
rear of the helmet.
To adjust the length of the straps open the Tri Loc and slide
whichever strap needs adjustment up or down until it is in the
correct position. Any slack in the strap must be pulled through the
chin buckle. Then snap the Tri Loc closed and adjust the other
side. The loose ends of the straps must be passed through the
rubber O-ring. The straps should not cover your ears.
Next, close the chin buckle and tighten the combined straps until
they are comfortable underneath your chin. Position the buckle away
from your jaw bone. To see if your straps are correctly adjusted
try to pull the helmet off from both the front and back.
If it can be tipped forward, tighten the back straps. If it can be
tipped backwards tighten the front straps
