Setup and Fit
Sizing Guide
To ensure proper helmet fit, measure the circumference of the head. Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears. Refer to the size guide below to select the appropriate helmet size.

In Form Fit System
The In Form Fit System allows for quick and easy adjustment of the helmet's fit, even while wearing gloves. A dial located at the base of the helmet provides up to 6cm of adjustment, enhancing stability. The Vertical Tuning feature accommodates various goggle types and head shapes, minimizing any gap between goggles and helmet.

Strap Adjustment
Adjust the chin strap so that it is snug but comfortable under the chin. The buckle should be centered and securely fastened. Ensure there is no excessive slack in the strap to prevent the helmet from shifting during activity.
Usage Guidelines
Ventilation
The helmet features Super Cool Vents strategically placed on the top to allow hot air to escape, helping to regulate temperature and keep the wearer comfortable throughout the day.
Goggle Compatibility
Giro Launch Youth helmets are designed for seamless compatibility with Giro youth goggles. For the Launch size S, Giro Rev youth goggles are recommended. For Launch size XS, Giro Chico toddler goggles are recommended. This ensures a cohesive fit and optimal performance.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the helmet exterior, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the interior, the soft liner and earpads can be gently wiped clean. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storage.
Storage
Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the helmet to prevent damage to its structure.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Fit Discomfort
If the helmet feels uncomfortable or too loose/tight, re-adjust the In Form Fit System dial and chin strap. Ensure the vertical tuning is set correctly to accommodate goggles without creating pressure points. If discomfort persists, re-check the sizing against the provided guide.
Visible Damage
Inspect the helmet regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the shell, dents, or compromised straps. If the helmet has sustained an impact or shows significant wear, it should be replaced immediately, even if visible damage is minimal, as its protective capabilities may be compromised.
