Your S1 Lifer helmet is your trusty companion, keeping you safe and secure. But for it to perform its best, you need to wear it correctly. Here’s a quick guide to ensure your S1 Lifer fits like a dream and offers optimal protection:
Finding Your Center:
- Level Up: Your S1 Lifer should sit level on your head, comfortably resting right in the middle of your forehead. Not tilted back, not pushed forward – just perfectly balanced.
Strap Smart:
- Clip It Secure: Always fasten the chin strap securely before hitting the road. No helmet, no ride!
- Two-Finger Test: Adjust the strap so you can comfortably fit two fingers between the strap and your chin. This ensures a snug yet comfortable fit.
- Excess Under Control: Once you’ve found the ideal length, tighten the strap by pulling the excess through the helmet clip. Secure the remaining strap using the handy rubber O-Ring.
- Ear Lobe Love: The strap sliders should rest comfortably just below your ear lobes, ensuring a balanced and secure hold.
The Perfect Fit:
- Snug, Not Suffocating: Your S1 Lifer should feel snug and secure, but not so tight it causes a headache. There should be minimal movement when you shake your head gently.
- Side-to-Side Stability: When properly fitted, your helmet shouldn’t move from side to side or front to back. It should feel like a natural extension of your head.
Ready to Roll!
Once you’ve achieved the perfect fit, you’re all set to conquer the road with confidence. Remember, a properly worn helmet is crucial for maximizing your safety. So take a few minutes to ensure your S1 Lifer sits comfortably and securely – it could make all the difference!
