Setup

1. Sizing and Fit Adjustment

Before first use, ensure the helmet fits correctly. Measure your head circumference to select the appropriate size. The Favoto HT16 helmet is available in size L (59-61cm).

1. Place the helmet on your head so it sits level and covers your forehead.
2. Locate the adjustable dial at the rear of the helmet.
3. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten the fit until the helmet is snug but comfortable, without causing pressure points.
4. Turn the dial counter-clockwise to loosen the fit.
5. Adjust the chin straps so they form a 'V' shape below your ears and the buckle is centered under your chin. Tighten the strap until it is snug, allowing only one or two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.

2. Attaching the Visor and Goggles

The helmet comes with a detachable sun visor and magnetic goggles for versatile use.

• Sun Visor: Align the visor's clips with the corresponding slots on the helmet's front edge and press firmly until it clicks into place. To remove, gently pull the visor away from the helmet.
• Magnetic Goggles: Position the goggles near the helmet's front. The integrated magnets will automatically snap the goggles into place. To remove, gently pull them away. The grey coating on the lenses blocks harmful UV rays (UV382).
