Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your helmet, place it on your head and use the adjustment wheel at the back to tighten the internal harness until the fit is snug but comfortable. If you have long hair, adjust the rear height system first to ensure the cradle sits correctly above or below your plait.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the shell using only a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the polycarbonate.
  • Periodically check the adjustment wheel to ensure it operates smoothly and is free of grit.
  • Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as UV exposure can affect material integrity over time.
  • Replace the helmet immediately if it has sustained a significant impact, even if no visible damage is present.
