2.2 Proper Fitment
A helmet must fit snugly to provide maximum protection. To check for proper fit:
- Place the helmet on your head. It should feel tight around your cheeks and the top of your head.
- Fasten the chin strap securely. The strap should be snug under your chin, without causing discomfort.
- With the chin strap fastened, try to move the helmet from side to side and up and down. Your skin should move with the helmet. If the helmet slides independently, it is too large.
- Ensure there are no pressure points that cause pain.
Refer to the size guide if available, or consult with a professional for assistance with fitment.
