The helmet sits squarely on your head to protect your face and forehead.

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
