How do I clean the Giro Dime FS Helmet?
You can clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth. For the pads, remove them if possible and wash them gently with mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
What does the Roc Loc Sport fit system do?
The Roc Loc Sport fit system is a dial-based adjustment mechanism at the rear of the helmet. It allows for quick and easy tightening or loosening of the helmet for a secure and customized fit in seconds.
Is this helmet suitable for skateboarding as well as cycling?
Yes, the Giro Dime FS Helmet is certified to CE EN 1078, which covers standards for cycling, skateboarding, and roller skating, making it a versatile option for various activities.
What materials is the helmet made from?
The helmet is constructed with an ABS shell and an EPS liner for impact protection. It also contains components made from Polyurethane, POM, Polyester, and Nylon.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The weight is approximately 480 grams for a size M.
What should I do if the helmet has been in an accident?
If the helmet has been subjected to a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if there is no visible damage. The internal protective structure may be compromised.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the Roc Loc Sport fit system by turning the dial tighter. Ensure the chin strap is also properly adjusted.
Helmet feels too tight or causes discomfort
Loosen the Roc Loc Sport fit system by turning the dial counter-clockwise. Ensure the chin strap is not too tight.
Padding feels irritating or doesn't absorb sweat well
Ensure the padding is correctly positioned. If it's excessively worn or damaged, consider ordering replacement pads (if available) or cleaning the existing ones as per care instructions.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris. The webbing anchors should be secure; if straps seem loose, re-thread them through the buckles as intended.
Helmet doesn't seem to fit correctly despite size adjustment
Double-check the head circumference measurement against the helmet's specified size range (47-51 cm). The helmet might be the wrong size for the user.
