Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best safety performance, it is critical to select the shell size that matches your head measurement. The helmet should fit snugly without pressure points. For care, clean the fiberglass shell using mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the finish. The visor should be cleaned only with water and a microfiber cloth to maintain the class 1 optical coating. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the internal materials and shell finish.
