3. Setup

3.1 Determining Your Size

To ensure optimal protection and comfort, select the correct helmet size. Measure the circumference of your head approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) above your eyebrows and ears. Refer to the size chart below.

Image: Size guide for VINZ Arenas helmets, illustrating how to measure head circumference and listing corresponding sizes (XS-53/54 cm, S-55/56 cm, M-57/58 cm, L-59/60 cm, XL-61/62 cm, XXL-63/64 cm).

If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for comfort, or try both to ensure a snug fit without excessive pressure points.

3.2 Fitting the Helmet

1. Put on the Helmet: Hold the helmet by the chin straps, with the open part facing you. Expand the opening slightly with your hands and slide the helmet onto your head.
2. Check the Fit: The helmet should fit snugly around your head, cheeks, and jaw. It should not move freely when you shake your head. There should be no excessive pressure points.
3. Fasten the Chin Strap: Secure the quick-release buckle. Adjust the strap so it is tight enough that you cannot pull the helmet off your head, but not so tight that it causes discomfort or restricts breathing. The strap should sit firmly under your chin.
4. Final Check: With the strap fastened, try to roll the helmet forward and backward. It should not move significantly.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Main Visor Operation

The main visor protects your eyes from wind, dust, and debris. It is designed to be anti-scratch.

• Opening: Gently lift the visor from the bottom edge. It will click into various open positions.
• Closing: Pull the visor down until it securely latches into the closed position.
• Removal/Installation: Refer to the specific instructions provided with your helmet for visor removal and installation, typically involving a quick-release mechanism on the side pivots.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your helmet.

6.1 Helmet Feels Loose or Too Tight

• Loose Fit: Re-check your head measurement against the size chart. Ensure the chin strap is properly adjusted and snug. If the helmet still feels loose, it may be too large and should be replaced with a smaller size.
