Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper fit is crucial for any full-face helmet. Start by checking the helmet's sizing against your head circumference to ensure a snug, non-shifting fit. Use the removable cheek pads to adjust the internal width to your specific jawline. For care, gently remove the cheek pads after muddy or sweat-heavy rides and hand wash them with mild soap and water. The shell can be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that might degrade the ABS plastic. Always inspect the EPS liner for cracks or compression after any significant impact; if the integrity of the foam is compromised, the helmet must be replaced.
