FAQs
What safety standard does this helmet meet?
The HKM Riding Helmet Illusion meets the European safety standard EN 1384: 2023.
How do I determine the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your ears. Match this measurement to the available size ranges (e.g., 49-51cm, 52-54cm, etc.) provided by the specific product variant.
Can the liner be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash the removable lining with mild detergent to preserve the fabric, then allow it to air dry.
Does the helmet come with a storage bag?
Yes, every helmet is delivered with a dedicated material bag for storage and transport.
Is this helmet suitable for all head shapes?
The dial system offers significant adjustability to accommodate various head shapes, though it is always recommended to try the helmet on to ensure a proper fit.
Troubleshooting
The helmet feels loose even with the dial tightened.
Ensure you have selected the correct size range for your head circumference. If the helmet is at the end of its adjustment capacity, you may need a smaller shell size.
Interior lining is becoming uncomfortable.
Remove the lining and wash it with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching to the helmet.
Dial adjustment feels stiff.
Check for any debris or hair caught in the mechanism. Gently clean the area with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, start by turning the adjustment dial fully counter-clockwise before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned, turn the dial clockwise until the helmet feels snug but comfortable against the skull; it should not move when you shake your head.
Maintenance:
- Regularly remove the inner lining and wash according to the instructions to remove sweat and oils.
- Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may compromise the helmet's structural integrity.
- Always store the helmet in the provided material bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- If the helmet is involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately, as internal protective materials may be compromised.
