3. Setup
3.1 Sizing and Fit Adjustment
To ensure maximum protection, your helmet must fit properly. Use the sizing chart below as a guide, and then adjust the helmet to your head.
Image: ILM helmet sizing information table (CM, Inches, Hat Size for XS, S/M, L/XL) and a diagram illustrating the proper method to wear a helmet (positioning, chin strap, buckle).
- Measure Your Head: Use a measuring tape to find the circumference of your head, just above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart.
- Position the Helmet: Place the helmet squarely on your head so that it covers your forehead. It should not be tilted back or forward.
- Adjust the Rear Dial: Turn the adjustable dial at the back of the helmet clockwise to tighten the fit, or counter-clockwise to loosen it. The helmet should feel snug and not move freely when you shake your head.
- Adjust Chin Straps: Fasten the quick-release buckle under your chin. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' shape under your ears. The straps should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. Only one or two fingers should fit between the strap and your chin.
- Final Check: Open your mouth wide. The helmet should press down on the top of your head. If it doesn't, tighten the chin strap.

- To Attach: Align the visor's attachment points with the corresponding slots on the helmet. Gently push until it clicks into place.
- To Detach: Apply gentle pressure to the release tabs on either side of the visor and pull it away from the helmet.
