After you receive your helmet, we suggest you check the fit. Follow the four steps below to help insure a correct fit.

Step 1: Putting on Helmet:
Align the front rim of the helmet above your eyebrows. Hold the straps on both sides and roll the helmet over the back of your head.

Step 2: Check for Gaps:
Pads should be flush against your cheeks and forehead. The back of the helmet should not touch the nape of your neck.

Step 3: Roll Test:
With the chin strap fastened your helmet should be snug and comfortable. Try to roll your helmet off your head. If the skin on your forehead moves, you have a good fit.

Step 4: Proper Use:
Be sure your helmet is fitting above your eyebrows and that your goggles fit your face while wearing the helmet as shown.
