Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper protection, verify that the helmet sits snugly on the crown of your head without excessive movement. The straps should be adjusted so they form a 'V' shape around your ears and the chin buckle should be firmly secured. For care, remove the comfort liner and hand wash it using mild soap and cool water to preserve the antimicrobial properties. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the polycarbonate shell as these can degrade the material. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV-related degradation of the EPS foam over time.
