Your helmet must fit comfortably and snugly on your head. The helmet should sit level on your head, and the fit should be firmenough to keep the helmet from moving due to either vibration or impact. -
Methods of Fitting the Helmet
-
Fitting the Foam Pads
Your helmet comes with pads installed at purchase. Some helmets also have extra pads to adjust the fit of the helmet. If your helmet has extra pads and the factory-installed pads do not provide a snug comfortable fit, remove the factory-installed pads and insert a different size pad or pads. Feel free to mix and match thicknesses so that the pads are configured to your head’s shape.
Adjusting a Rear-Fit System
- Your helmet may also have a rear fit system which holds the helmet against the lower rear of your head. These systems have an adjustment mechanism. The two most popular mechanisms are a pinch-fit and a dial tensioner. The rear fit should be adjusted so that it fits snugly against the back of your head.
Adjusting a Fit-Ring
Many helmets come with a fit ring that encircles the head. The fit ring has an
adjustment mechanism typically found at the rear of the ring. The ring should
be tightened to a point that the fit is snug, yet comfortable.
Adjusting the Straps
With the helmet level on your head, fasten all straps securely so the straps
provide equal tension. The Bicycle Coalition of Maine developed an“Eye-Ear-
Mouth” Test’ to check the adjustment of the straps. First, look up, and adjust
the helmet so that the front edge of the helmet is barely visible. Second, the
side straps should meet in a ‘ Y’ just below your ear. Third, the chin strap
should be snug under your chin; when you open your mouth wide, you should feel
the helmet pull down a bit.
If the straps do not meet these three criteria, adjust the straps beginning at
the rear.
- First, adjust the straps through the rear-fit system or rear-fit piece.
- Next, adjust the ‘Y’ under your ear. You may need to loosen the sidelines and lengthen either the front or rear strap on each side. Be sure to retighten the side glides, when a good fit is achieved.
- Finally, adjust the buckle under your chain.
- Recheck the fit with the “Eye-Ear-Mouth Test”.
The Right Fit
The helmet should be worn level on the head with the front approximately one inch or one finger’s width above your eyebrow. The retention straps and helmet should fit as snugly as possible. Check the fit of your helmet:
-
l Look in a mirror and gently rotate the helmet on your head, front to back and side to side. As you rotate the helmet notice the skin in the brow area. The fit should be comfortable, and the skin should move
with the helmet. -
Try to roll the helmet backward and forwards. Put your palm under the front edge of the helmet. Push up and back. If the helmet moves more than an inch, tighten the strap in front of your ear. Pull up on the rear edge of your helmet. If the helmet moves more than an inch, tighten the strap behind your ear.
You may need to work with your helmet fit for several minutes to achieve a proper fit. If a proper fit cannot be achieved, do not wear the helmet. Each helmet has a slightly different shape and fit. Find the one that fits you best ALL ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE CHECKED EACH TIME THE HELMET IS WORN. MAKING SURE THEFITISSNUGAT ALL TIMES.
