How do I choose the correct size?

The helmet weighs 250 grams for the S/M size and 265 grams for the L/XL size.
Does the helmet come with a visor?
No, the Oxford Raven is designed with an aerodynamic road profile and does not include a visor.
Is the padding removable for washing?
Yes, the interior comfort padding can generally be removed for hand-washing with mild soap to maintain hygiene.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened
Ensure the chin strap is adjusted correctly to prevent the helmet from shifting forward or backward.
Dial fit system is difficult to turn
Check for debris or dirt in the adjustment mechanism and ensure the tension is not being obstructed by stray hair.
Straps are irritating skin
Adjust the side strap dividers so that they sit comfortably below the ears and check that the chin buckle is not pinching the skin.
