met to impact or external force during transport. Helmets will be damaged if exposed to temperatures
exceeding 65°C. Vehicles and storage bags can exceed this on very hot days. Heat damaged helmets
will have random disfigured areas where the texture appears bubbly and uneven. If damaged, helmets
should be destroyed and replaced immediately.
MAINTENANCE AND OBSOLESCENCE

helmet if any components show signs of damage or are worn, cracked, and/or deformed, or if the inside
foam has deteriorated. Helmets have a limited life span in use and should be replaced every 3-5 years
under normal use conditions, but at the latest after 8 years from date of manufacture (see product
label). If you know or suspect that your helmet has been damaged or exposed to any abnormal force,
destroy and replace it. Please dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly manner. Do not make any
modifications to the helmet, this includes the outer shell, the inner EPS liner or chin strap, any modifi-
cations will void all warranties and affect the helmet's performance.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to fulfill its protective function, your helmet must be perfectly adjusted to your head. Measure
your head at its widest point, compare it to the sizing chart available on a label inside the helmet, and
try on several sizes until you find the correct fit that stays on comfortably, steadily and securely.
1. Put on the helmet in a manner so that it sits straight on your head and covers your forehead, without
blocking your vision. It is important that the helmet can neither ride up your forehead nor be pushed
down over your eyes. The helmet should fit comfortably; so that it holds onto your head as you move it
front and back, as well as side-to-side (FIG. 1).
2. The comfort pads inside the helmet should exert firm, even, but comfortable pressure against your
head. The helmet fits well if the pads are in contact with all sides of your head around the helmet's
interior. A helmet that fits well also fits comfortably without being too tight.
