• III. PROPER FITTING
TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE FIT, YOU SHOULD PHYSICALLY TRY THE HELMET ON
IN THE STORE PRIOR TO PURCHASE TO FIND THE EXACT SIZE THAT BEST SUITS YOUR
HEAD. To determine the proper fit of your helmet, measure your head size by passing a
tape measure around your head approximately 2 c m above the eyebrow line. Use the largest
measurement from this process.
Select the helmet size that closest matches the measurement. Since helmet sizes do not
always match perfectly with basic measurements, use the helmet size that fits snugly, but
without pressure points. SCOTT Sports SA shall not be liable for any damages and losses
due to improper fitting.
PROPER TIGHTENING OF THE CHIN STRAP
Proper tightening of the chinstrap is critical to the functionality of this helmet. If you are
able to pull down on the fastened chinstrap from under your chin and create slack, it is not
properly fastened through the D-Rings. Follow the steps below to ensure proper fastening.
TRYING ON THE HELMET – FINDING THE RIGHT SIZE
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE FIT OF THE HELMET BE SNUG FOR
IT TO PERFORM PROPERLY. Grasp the chinstraps (see diagram
1) and expand the helmet opening. Slide your head into the hel-
met. If the helmet does not fit snugly or if the helmet feels loose
in any way, you should try a smaller size. To check for proper fit-
ting, place the helmet on your head. Make sure the helmet lining
fits snugly around your head and that the cheek pads are pressed
close onto your cheeks. There should be no space between your
brow and the lining. Take hold of the helmet on each side and try
to move the helmet up and down as well as side to side (see dia-
gram 2). You should feel the skin on your face and head being
pulled along with the helmet. If the helmet is able to move free-
ly without rubbing your skin, the helmet is too large and you need
a smaller size.
RETENTION SYSTEM CHECK
Fasten the chin strap such that it is as tight as possible without
choking. There should be no slack and the strap should fit snugly
under the chin. Place your hand on top of the helmet and attempt
to push the helmet off by rolling it forward. Next, place your hand
on the chin bar and attempt to push the helmet off by rotating it
towards the rear. If in either case, the helmet is able to come off
your head, do not use this helmet and find a better fitting size, or
check that the chin strap is securely fastened. These steps should
be repeated until you are able to find the right size helmet for you.
