PLEASE READ BEFORE USING
YOUR NEW HELMET
The bicycle helmet you have just
purchased provides protection,
whether on or off the road. Please
familiarize yourself with the helmet's
features and instructions to ensure
proper use. It's extremely important
that the wearer carefully and
thoroughly read through this manual
before wearing their new helmet.
WARNING: Do not modify or remove
any of the original components
of this helmet other than what is
recommended by the manufacturer.
This helmet should not be adapted for
the purpose of fitting accessories.
ABOUT THE LIMITS OF YOUR HELMET
WARNING: Your Thousand helmet is
designed to reduce or prevent certain
injuries, and it meets or exceeds the
levels of protection mandated by the
safety standards designated on the
helmet for in effect on the date of
manufacture. No helmet can protect
the wearer against all possible impacts.
Even at very low speeds, accidents
can result in serious injury or death.
Some injuries are not caused by impact
at all, but by other forces. A helmet
does not protect what it does not
cover, and may not protect what it
does cover. A helmet cannot protect
against neck, spinal or other injuries
that may result from an accident.
FIT SYSTEM
To adjust the fit system, put the helmet
on your head, but do not connect the
2
straps. If the fit system is too loose,
rotate the adjusting wheel clockwise
to tighten (Figure 1-A). If the fit system
is too tight, rotate the adjusting wheel
counter-clockwise (Figure 1-B). Then
fasten the magnetic buckle and adjust
it to a comfortably snug fit that does
not allow the helmet to roll back or
to the side, as discussed below.
THE CORRECT FIT
WARNING: To be effective, a helmet
must fit and be worn correctly in
accordance with these instructions. To
check for the correct fit, place helmet
on head and make any adjustments
indicated. Securely fasten retention
system. Grasp the helmet and try
to rotate it to fit the front and rear.
A correctly fitted helmet should be
comfortable and should not move
forward to obscure vision or rearward
to expose the forehead. The helmet
is designed to be retained by a
strap under the lower jaw (Figure 2).
You should try different sizes and
choose the size which feels secure
and comfortable on the head in
accordance to these instructions.
RETENTION SYSTEM
Place the helmet firmly on your head
and fasten the buckle. The straps
must be adjusted so they are evenly
tensioned. The helmet uses a quick
release magnetic buckle. To fasten the
buckle, slide the top piece on top of
the bottom piece until the magnets in
both pieces have snapped together;
you will hear a closure sound when
it has locked. To open the buckle,
slide the top piece laterally. Make
sure the magnetic buckle snaps
together whenever using the helmet,
ENGLISH
and that the buckle is positioned
away from the jawbone. Be sure to
also tuck the extra strap material
through the "O" ring (Figure 3).
INTERNAL PADDING
Heritage 2.0 padding is customizable.
Trim padding as needed in any of the
compressed areas for your comfort
(Figure 5). Replacement padding for
all helmets is available by emailing
info@explorethousand.com.
PROTECTION AND VENTILATION
The helmet's outer shell provides
excellent durability and integrity.
The multiple vents and inner air
channels draw air through the
helmet for maximum cooling.
REMOVABLE VISORS
(For Chapter Collection Helmets Only)
The visor on your helmet is removable
and interchangeable with other
Thousand Chapter Helmet Collection
visors. To remove the visor, turn the
hand screws counterclockwise to
loosen (Figure 4-A). To attach the visor,
replace the hand screws and turn
clockwise to tighten (Figure 4-B).
WARNING: Do not tighten the screws
for the visor on the helmet when the
visor is not attached. This can damage
the helmet and void the warranty.

designed to hold Thousand's unique
magnetic helmet light. Depending
on model, the light is either included
(Chapter) or available for purchase
separately (Heritage 2.0 + Heritage
2.0N). Please note, due to design
