5. Maintenance and Care

5.1. Cleaning the Outer Shell

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the Lexan polycarbonate shell and finish. Wipe gently and dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Remove the face shield. Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. For the Pinlock lens, only use lukewarm water and avoid rubbing the inner surface. Allow both to air dry completely before reassembly.

5.3. Cleaning the Interior Padding

The inner comfort padding and neck-roll are removable. Hand wash them with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

• Ensure the Pinlock lens is correctly installed and sealed against the face shield.
• Check that the Pinlock lens is clean and free of oils or dirt.
• Increase ventilation by opening the chin guard air intake and other vents.
