WEARING YOUR AFX HELMET
While no helmet can protect the user against all possible forms of
impact, the following safety instructions will help you get the maximum
benet and protection from your helmet.
1. To protect you as it is designed to do, your helmet must be the correct
tted size; too big or too small may not be safe. A properly tted helmet,
with the chinstrap fastened securely, will have a snug but comfortable
t. You will feel an even pressure all over your head, with no gaps. The
helmet must not be so loose that it can rotate freely front or back so that
it could be removed with the chinstrap fastened.
2. The chinstrap must be securely fastened at all times do not ride with
the chinstrap not fastened correctly. Make sure it remains snug at all
times, except when you take it off of course.
3. Do not modify your helmet in any way and never attach anything
to your helmet with screws or any type of adhesive. To preserve the
integrity and effectiveness of your helmet, do not alter its internal or
external structure in any way.

of your hair) you may have forgotten to put your helmet on. Please stop

properly and be securely fastened on your head.

PROPER FITTING OF YOUR AFX HELMET
HELMETS SIZING CHART
xx
Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using
a exible tape measure. Generally, the widest part of a person’s head
is the area 2.5cm (1”) above the eyes and ears. However, we suggest
measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine
the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables. We also
suggest testing the t of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger
then what the chart recommends. No helmet can provide protection if
it’s too uncomfortable to wear.
Helmets must t snugly, but not painfully tight. While holding the chin-
straps outside of the helmet, pull it down over your head, taking care
that the chinstraps do not go up inside the helmet. A proper-tting
helmet will feel snug with fairly even pressure around the sides and top
of your head. On most modern helmets the liner is designed to be a
little extra snug at rst, but will break-in after several hours of riding to
match the particular shape of your head.

If you are not familiar with how a helmet should t and feel, be sure to
ask for assistance from a more experienced rider, or the retail store
where you purchased your helmet. As a rule, the helmet should not
be able to move around on your head without pulling on your skin. A
loose tting helmet is not only dangerous, but may also be noisy and
tiring to wear. Most people make the mistake of buying a helmet that’s
too large. IMPORTANT: Make sure that you fasten the chinstrap securely
beneath your chin when trying-on a helmet and then test to see that
the helmet cannot be removed from your head when fastened in that
manner. The helmet must not be so loose that it can rotate freely front
or back so that it could be removed with the chinstrap fastened
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible or foreseeable
impacts. A helmet can only protect the portion of the head that is
covered by the helmet. For maximum protection, the helmet must be
well tted with the chinstrap securely fastened. Failure to follow these
instructions, the instructions printed on the helmet, and those contained
in the owner’s manual may result in the possibility of the helmet com-
ing off during an accident - possibly resulting in a severe head injury or
even death. While riding motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and snowmobiles
is fun, it can also be a dangerous pastime. At AFX, we encourage you
to enjoy riding responsibly, and to always ride within the limits of your
abilities.
