Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, adjust the rear retention system until the helmet sits snugly but comfortably on your head. Ensure the chin strap is tensioned so that it does not slide, but remains comfortable for long durations. For care, wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The interior pads should be removed periodically and hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried to maintain hygiene. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the helmet's protective finish and structural integrity. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
