Take the Helmet Fit Test
Eyes
Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet. The rim should be one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows.
Ears
Make sure the straps form a ‘V’ under your ears when buckled. The straps should be a little tight but comfortable.
Mouth
Open your mouth as wide as you can. Does the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten the straps.
