Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection

• Carefully remove the helmet and all accessories from the packaging.
• Inspect the helmet for any visible damage. Do not use the helmet if it appears damaged.
• Ensure all included components are present: Oakley MOD7 Helmet, Oakley Microfiber Bag, Oakley Sticker, and Designer iWear Collapsible Water Bottle with Carabiner.

2. Sizing and Fit Adjustment

Proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort. Use the sizing guide below to determine your correct helmet size. The BOA® Fit System allows for precise adjustments.

This image provides a sizing chart for the Oakley MOD7 helmet, detailing head circumference measurements for Small, Medium, and Large sizes, along with instructions on how to measure your head.

1. Measure Your Head: Use a flexible tape measure to find the circumference of your head, positioning it about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows and ears.
2. Select Size: Refer to the sizing chart to choose the appropriate helmet size (S, M, L).
3. Adjust BOA® System: Place the helmet on your head. Turn the BOA® dial at the back of the helmet clockwise to tighten for a snug, comfortable fit without excessive pressure. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen.
4. Chin Strap: Fasten the chin strap securely. The strap should be snug under your chin, allowing only one or two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.

3. Goggle Integration (Secure-Connect System)

The MOD7 helmet features an integrated goggle system for seamless connection.

• Align the goggle frame with the helmet's goggle integration points.
• Gently push the goggles into place until they securely click into the Secure-Connect System.
• Ensure the goggles are firmly attached and do not wobble.

4. Ventilation Adjustment

The helmet features strategic ventilation for comfort. Locate the ventilation sliders on the helmet and adjust them to your preference for airflow.

1. Wearing the Helmet Correctly

• Always wear the helmet level on your head, covering your forehead. It should not be tilted back.
• Ensure the chin strap is securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit.

2. Prizm Lens Technology

The integrated Prizm Lens technology enhances contrast and color, improving visibility in various snow conditions. No special operation is required; the lens functions automatically.

3. MIPS® Safety Features

The Oakley MOD7 helmet incorporates MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology, designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. This system works automatically to provide an additional layer of protection.

4. Adjusting Ventilation During Use

You can adjust the helmet's ventilation system while riding to manage airflow and prevent fogging or overheating. Simply slide the ventilation controls to open or close the vents as needed.

1. Cleaning the Helmet Shell

• Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to clean the exterior of the helmet.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the helmet's materials and finish.
• Rinse with clean water and air dry thoroughly.

2. Cleaning the Goggle Lens

• Use the provided Oakley Microfiber Bag or a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for lens cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt or smudges, gently rinse the lens with clean water before wiping. Do not rub a dry lens aggressively.
• Avoid using paper towels or clothing, as they can scratch the lens.

3. Care for Inner Padding

• The inner padding can be removed for cleaning. Refer to the helmet's specific instructions for removal.
• Hand wash the padding with mild soap and cool water.
• Air dry completely before reinserting into the helmet.

4. Storage Recommendations

• Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Use the Oakley Microfiber Bag to protect the helmet from scratches and dust during storage.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the helmet.

Troubleshooting

1. Helmet Feels Loose or Too Tight

• Solution: Adjust the BOA® Fit System dial at the back of the helmet. Turn clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the chin strap is also properly adjusted. If the helmet is consistently too loose or tight, verify you have the correct size using the sizing guide.

2. Goggles Not Attaching Securely

• Solution: Ensure the goggle frame is correctly aligned with the helmet's Secure-Connect System. Apply firm, even pressure until you hear or feel a click. Inspect the goggle attachment points and the helmet's connection system for any obstructions or damage. If damage is present, contact Oakley support.

3. Goggles Fogging Up

• Solution: Adjust the helmet's ventilation sliders to increase airflow. Ensure the goggle lens is clean and free of smudges. Avoid wearing a balaclava or neck gaiter over your nose and mouth inside the helmet, as this can direct warm, moist air into the goggles.
