With the helmet securely fastened on your head, check the following points:

  • Check whether the helmet lining fits snuggly around your head- Picture 1
  • Check that the top pad touches closely to your head on the top- Picture 2

  • Check to make sure that there is no space between your forehead and the inner lining, where you can insert your fingers.
  • Hold the helmet with your hands on both sides, without moving your head try to move the helmet up and down and side to side – Picture 3 & 4. You should feel pressure on your face and on your head, as you try to move the helmet around easily, the helmet is larger than your head size and you need to try a smaller size.

C. CHECK CHIN STRAP FOR FASTENING

With the helmet on your head & chin strap secured, check the following points:

  • Try to pull the chin strap away from your chin . If then chin strap moves or loosens, the chin strap is either too long or incorrectly adjusted.
  • Readjust the length of your chin strap, fasten it and check again until you have a proper fit and the helmet is securely fastened.
  • Hold the helmet from the back & try to pull the helmet off your head as indicated by the arrow in Picture  7. If the helmet starts to come off , the chin strap is not sufficiently well tightened and or helmet is too large.
