The helmet is equipped with two visors: an outer clear shield and an inner smoked sun shield. The outer clear shield can be raised or lowered manually. The inner smoked sun shield is operated by a slider mechanism, typically located on the side of the helmet, allowing you to deploy or retract it as needed for sun protection.

- Mouth Vent: Slide the switch on the chin bar to open or close the mouth vent.
- Top Vents: Slide the levers on the top of the helmet to open or close the top vents.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Helmet Shell
Clean the exterior of the helmet with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish and shell material. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
2. Cleaning the Visors
Remove the outer clear shield and inner sun shield before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and warm water with mild soap. Gently wipe the visors. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Ensure visors are completely dry before reattaching.

Troubleshooting
- Visor Fogging: Ensure vents are open for maximum airflow. Anti-fog treatments or Pinlock inserts (if compatible) can also help.
