C.Check for a proper fit. With the helmet on, go through the following checklist
to determine whether the helmet is the correct size.
1.Check whether the helmet inner lining fits snugly all
around your head
2.Check whether the top pad presses closely on the top
of your head
3.Check whether the cheek pads are in contact with your
cheeks.
4.Check to make sure there is no space around your brow
under the inner lining,
where you can insert your
fingers.
5.Now, take hold of the helmet with a hand on each side.
Without moving your head, try to move the helmet up and
down, and side to side. You should feel the skin of your
head and face being pulled as you try move the helmet. If you can move the helmet
around easily, it is too big. Try a smaller size.
D.Check the retention system and go through the following steps.
1.Fasten the chinstrap as tight as possible without
causing you pain. There
must be no slack in the
strap and it must be tight up against your throat.
2.With the chinstrap secured, put your hands flat on the
back of the helmet and try to push the helmet of by
rotating it forward.
3.Next, put your hands on the front of the helmet above
your forehead (or on the chin guard) and try to push the
helmet off by rotating it toward the rear.
4.If the helmet starts to come off in either direction,
do not use the helmet.
Either the helmet is too large
for you or the chinstrap is not tightened enough.
