beside the model identification code. If only the letter "P" appears they have not been designed to be used with
the chin guard lifted. The chin guard should only be lifted to make the helmet easier to put on. In any case, do
not lift or lower the chin guard when riding your motorcycle. This is a very dangerous operation, both because
you are obliged to take your hand off the handlebar and because the chin guard will cover your field of vision
for a few moments.
See fig. 1 _ Example of ECE 22-05 type approval label

Serial number of the helmet
! Important. If the helmet you have purchased does not correspond to the type of
protection and type of use you require, return it to your dealer, who will recommend a
model more suitable for your needs.
In helmets with a visor fitted standard (whether open face, full face or modular), the visor
can protect your eyes from dust, insects and debris which can be dangerous while riding.
Although removing the visor is not against the law, it reduces riding safety.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT HELMET
!
Important. To guarantee maximum safety, the helmet must fit perfectly and be
comfortable: this means that it must be neither too tight, as it would be impossible to
wear for prolonged periods of time, nor too loose, as it would not provide sufficient
protection in case of impact, could rotate to the side while riding or slip off the head.
When purchasing your helmet, carefully follow the instructions below.
See fig. 2 _ First of all, measure the dimensions of your head to find the right size, by passing the tape measure
around it a couple of cm above the eyebrows and ears.
See fig. 3 _ On the basis of the size determined through this measurement, try on the helmet for comfort and
fit. Pull the two parts of the strap to the side (see figure) and put on the helmet, sliding it over the head from
the back forward.
See fig. 4 _ Now check that all the internal paddings (cheek pads, crown pad, front padding) adhere to your
head at the cheeks, top of the head and forehead. Then, holding your head still, try to turn the helmet slightly,
first to the right and left and then try moving it up, down, backward and forward.
See fig. 5_ The helmet should be sufficiently adherent to pull the skin on cheeks and forehead. Therefore, if the
helmet turns too easily on the head it is too big for you: try a smaller size.
To complete the helmet test, fasten the chin strap. Adjust it so that it adheres to your throat as tightly as possible
without hurting and then, with your head tilted forward, try to remove the helmet by pulling it from the back
toward the front. If the helmet slips off easily, it is not suitable for you.
If the size seems right, keep the helmet on for a few minutes and ensure it does not cause any pain or pressure
areas. If you are unsure, repeat the various steps until you find the helmet that fits you best. If in doubt between
two sizes that both feel comfortable, always choose the smaller size.
