Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Adjust the side webbing straps to ensure they form a 'V' shape around your ears and are adjusted to the correct length under the chin.
Dial adjustment feels stiff
Check the mechanism for debris or grit; gently clean the area with a dry brush or compressed air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, loosen the Roc Loc Vert dial before putting on the helmet. Place the helmet level on your head, then rotate the dial at the back until the fit is snug but comfortable; it should not feel like it is pinching your skin. For daily care, wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The interior pads are removable and should be hand-washed in cool water with mild detergent and air-dried to maintain their wicking properties. Avoid using chemical cleaners, heat guns, or hair dryers, as these can damage the protective polyurethane coating and the EPS foam structure.
