4. Setup and Fitting
Achieving a correct fit is paramount for helmet safety and comfort.
4.1 Head Measurement
To determine your helmet size, measure the circumference of your head at its widest point, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows and around the largest part of your head. Use a flexible tape measure.
Figure 4.1: Illustration demonstrating how to measure head circumference for proper helmet sizing.
4.2 Size Chart
| Product Size | Head Circumference (CM) | Head Circumference (Inches) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 53 - 54 | 20.8 - 21.2 |
| S | 55 - 56 | 21.6 - 22 |
| M | 57 - 58 | 22.4 - 22.8 |
| L | 59 - 60 | 23.2 - 23.6 |
| XL | 61 - 62 | 24 - 24.4 |
| XXL | 63 - 64 | 24.8 - 25.2 |
4.3 A-Head Fitting System
The patented A-Head fitting system allows for fine-tuning the helmet's internal fit. Consult the detailed instructions provided with your helmet for specific adjustments to the height and angle of the helmet on your head. This system helps optimize comfort and MIPS performance.
5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your helmet and maintains its protective qualities.
- Cleaning the Shell: Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials and finish.
- Cleaning the Liner: The internal comfort liner is removable and washable. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
- Visor Care: Clean the visor with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scratching the surface.
- Storage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store it near heat sources or chemicals.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect your helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the shell, frayed straps, or degraded liner material. Replace if any damage is found.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your helmet.
- Helmet feels too tight/loose: Re-check your head measurement against the size chart. Utilize the A-Head fitting system for micro-adjustments. If the helmet still doesn't fit correctly, it may be the wrong size.
- Visor not securing properly: Ensure the visor is correctly aligned with the patented release system. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
- Discomfort during wear: Ensure all internal padding is correctly seated. The A-Head system can help adjust pressure points. Break-in period may be required for new helmets.
- Unusual noises or vibrations: Check that all external components (visor, vents) are securely fastened. Inspect for any loose parts.
