How to Fit the Helmet
For proper use, the helmet must sit level on the head and low on the forehead. The helmet uses a simple, quick-release buckle system that, once adjusted, can be buckled and unbuckled without changing the tightness. For proper use, the straps must be tight and evenly tensioned.
To properly wear your helmet:

  1. Position the helmet on your head with the front covering your forehead. If the helmet is tipped back too far and is not covering your forehead then the helmet is not in the proper position.

  2. Position the strap adjuster centered, just below your ears.
    SENA RUMBA Bluetooth Multi-sport Helmet - fig7 WARNING: Always wear the helmet in the proper position on your head with the front of the helmet covering your forehead for maximum protection. Never wear the helmet tipped back as the helmet will be in the improper position causing your forehead to be exposed. All fitment adjustments need to be made with the helmet in the proper position.

  3. Position the helmet halfway down on your forehead with the buckle under your chin and back against your throat. The straps should fit comfortably around both of your ears.

  4. After removing the chinstrap pad, adjust the chinstrap tension at the buckle so the chinstrap is tight and comfortable by pulling the chinstrap end through the buckle to either tighten or loosen as needed.

  5. Secure the excess strap with the “O-Ring” and then attach the “Chinstrap Pad”.
    SENA RUMBA Bluetooth Multi-sport Helmet - fig11 Note: Check the chinstrap’s position and tension regularly to ensure proper fit.

  6. Turn the retention system knob clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.
