SCHUBERTH SP1 Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet User Guide
Selecting the right size of helmet is an important matter.
The best possible protection in the event of a fall or accident can only be assured if your helmet is the correct size.
Follow the steps below to determine the correct helmet for you:
- Step 1: Measure your head size
- Step 2: Determine the appropriate helmet size
- Step 3: Check that the helmet fits correctly
MEASURE YOUR HEAD SIZE
You can determine your head measurement by placing a flexible metric measuring
tape around the top of your head, at a height roughly one finger’s width above
the eyebrows, so that you obtain the largest circumference. The value obtain
is your head size in cm.
DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE HELMET SIZE
The SP1 CARBON is available in seven basic helmet sizes. These are then divided into a total of 2 shell sizes.
Use the following overview to determine the helmet size best suited to your head size:
| Head size, cm | Alpha sizes helmet | Helmet shell size |
|---|---|---|
| 54 | XS |
1
55| S
57| M
58/59| L
60/61| L+|
2
62| XL
63| XXL
CHECK THE FIT OF THE HELMET
With the helmet on and the chin strap fastened and correctly adjusted (this is important; see page 12 for chin strap adjustment), check that your helmet is the right size for you and fits correctly.
-
Step 1:
Check that all the pads inside the helmet are in firm contact with your head but are not pressing down: a) head pads
b) cheek pads
c) forehead pad -
Step 2:
With the helmet on, grasp it firmly between both hands and move it up and down. Try twisting the helmet.
These movements should cause you to feel the skin of your face and scalp being moved by the movements of the helmet. If the helmet moves about too easily, it is too big. Try a smaller size.
-
Step 3:
With the helmet on, grasp it by the chin section and try to pull it off your head to the rear. If you are able to do so, the helmet is too big or the chinstrap is too loose.
For your safety please use a smaller size and/or readjust the chin strap.
-
Step 4:
Grasp the rear of the helmet with both hands and try to rotate it forward over your head.
If you can pull the helmet off your head in this way, the chinstrap is too loose or the helmet is too large. Readjust the chinstrap or if necessary select a smaller helmet size.
Warning: Never wear a helmet that does not fit properly!
Repeat these steps as often as necessary until you find the helmet size that fits you.
Do not drive until you are sure that the helmet fits correctly. If after driving the helmet is still fitting correctly and the chinstrap is still properly adjusted, then the helmet is the right size for you. If however this is not the case, please repeat the process of selecting the correct size from Step 1 to determine whether this is in fact the correct size for you.
Attention: Should you later be uncertain whether you have chosen the correct helmet, please contact SCHUBERTH customer services for advice.
