WARNING: No helmet can protect the wearer from all
foreseeable high or low speed impacts. However, for
maximum protection, the helmet must be of proper fit and
the chin strap must be securely fastened as described in this
manual. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely fasten the
chin strap is dangerous, as the helmet could come off in an
accident, resulting in severe head injury or death.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed to correspond to a head measure-
ment (from for XS up to XL). To measure your head size, wrap
a tape measure horizontally around your head at a height of
approximately one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows.
If your head measurement falls between two sizes,
first try on the smaller helmet. However, because of
different head shapes, this size reference can only be
considered as a guide. For maximum protection, it is neces-
sary to check that the helmet is well suited for the shape of
your head.

When trying a brand new helmet, make sure that your head is
pushed into the helmet as far as possible, with the front part
just above your eyebrows, and with the chin strap securely
fastened as described on the next page.
1. The helmet should feel very snug all around your head
and fairly tight on the cheek pads. If not, it is too big for you;
select a smaller size.
