How To Fit the Helmet
1. Position the helmet on your head with the
front covering your forehead.
2. Position the strap adjuster centered, just
below your ears.
3. Position the helmet low on your forehead
with the buckle under the chin and back
against the throat. The straps should fit
comfortably around both ears.
4. After removing the chinstrap pad, adjust
the chinstrap tension at the buckle so
the chinstrap is tight and comfortable
by pulling the chinstrap end through
the buckle to either tighten or loosen as
