A proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort.

1. Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level and covers your forehead.
2. The helmet should feel snug around your head and cheeks without causing uncomfortable pressure points.
3. To check the fit, try to rotate the helmet from side to side and front to back. Your skin should move with the helmet, and it should not slide freely.
