Make sure the chinstrap is well back against the throat, NOT on the point of the chin. How snugly? You should be able to open your mouth wide enough to eat. Finally, make sure the adjusters are secured.įasten the chinstrap buckle and tighten the straps until the helmet fits snugly. Make sure there is no slack in any of the straps.

With a proper fit, the front and rear straps should join at a point slightly below the ears. Experiment until you get a fit that is most comfortable. Simply move the system’s occipital pads (at the back of the helmet) up or down for comfort and best coverage. You can adjust the fit even more on helmets with systems that offer height adjustment, which allows the helmet’s fore/aft tilt to be optimized.

You should always wear the helmet positioned low enough in the front to protect your forehead, but not so low that it hinders your vision. It should not cause a headache or be uncomfortably tight. Once on and adjusted, a helmet should fit snugly on the wearer’s head, so that the skin on the forehead moves slightly when the helmet is moved back and forth. ![]() Helmets without a fit system (pads only, such as a full-face helmet) should fit snugly but comfortably. If it does not, you should replace it with one that does. Helmets with a fit/stability system should fit with just a little room between your head and the headband when the fit system is loose. Start by putting the helmets on and checking to make sure the helmet fits comfortably and securely. Once you’ve determined the correct measurement, you can select a helmet in the correct size or size range.
