3. Setup
3.1. Adjusting the Fit
The In Form 2 Fit System allows for precise adjustment of your helmet's fit. Locate the dial at the back of the helmet. Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the fit and counter-clockwise to loosen it. Ensure the helmet feels snug and secure without causing pressure points.
3.2. Securing the Chin Strap
Fasten the magnetic chin strap buckle. Adjust the strap length so that it is comfortably snug under your chin, allowing for two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin. The strap should not be too tight to restrict breathing, nor too loose to allow excessive helmet movement.
3.3. Goggle Integration
The Envi helmet is designed for seamless compatibility with Giro goggles. Position your goggles over your eyes and ensure the goggle strap sits securely in the goggle retainer clip at the back of the helmet. Adjust the goggle strap for a comfortable fit that does not create a gap between the helmet and the top of your goggles.

4. Operating Ventilation
Your Giro Envi helmet features Thermostat Control and Stack Ventilation to regulate your head temperature. Locate the ventilation slider on the top of the helmet. Slide it forward to open the vents for maximum airflow, or backward to close them for warmth. Adjust as needed based on weather conditions and activity level.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Helmet
Clean the helmet exterior with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's finish and materials. For the interior lining, the Polartec material can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storage.
5.2. Storage
Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the helmet, as this can cause damage.
5.3. Inspection
Regularly inspect your helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced immediately, as its protective capabilities may be compromised.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Helmet Feels Loose or Too Tight
Adjust the In Form 2 Fit System dial at the back of the helmet. Ensure the chin strap is properly tightened. If the helmet still does not fit correctly, consider trying a different size.
6.2. Goggles Fogging
Ensure your helmet's Stack Ventilation is open to allow airflow. Check that your goggles are properly seated against the helmet to prevent air gaps. Some goggles have their own anti-fog features that should also be maintained.
6.3. Discomfort During Use
Re-adjust the fit system and chin strap. Ensure ear pads are correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consult a professional or contact Giro customer support.
