To properly fit a helmet, focus on position and strap adjustment. It should sit level and low on your forehead.
Here's a breakdown of helmet fitting tips:
-
Positioning:
- The helmet should sit level on your head, not tilted back or forward.
- It should sit low on your forehead, approximately one or two finger-widths above your eyebrow. This ensures adequate protection.
-
Side Straps (Y-Straps):
- Adjust the sliders on both straps where they meet below your ears.
- Form a "V" shape under, and slightly in front of, your ears. These straps should lie flat against your face and neck.
By following these tips, you can ensure your helmet provides the best possible protection in case of an accident.
