Determine The Correct AFX
Helmets Size
1. Measure Your Head
Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head
by wrapping a flexible tape measure around it. Generally,
the widest part of a person's head is the area one-inch
above the eyes and ears. However, we do recommend measuring
a few spots above and below that spot, then refer to the
table below using the greatest measurement.
Hat sizes are included in the chart for reference only, and
should not be used exclusively when deciding on a helmet
size. To find the best fit we recommend that you also try-on
a helmet one size smaller and larger then what the chart
indicates. No helmet can provide protection if it’s too
uncomfortable to wear.
2. Wear The Helmet
Helmets must fit snuggly, but not painfully tight. While
holding the chinstraps outside of the helmet, pull it down
over your head taking care that the chinstraps do not go up
inside the helmet. A proper-fitting helmet will feel snug
with fairly even pressure around the sides and top of your
head. On most modern helmets the inside comfort lining is
designed to be a little extra snug at first, but after
several hours of riding it quickly forms to match the shape
of your head. If you are not familiar with how a helmet
should fit and feel, be sure to ask for assistance from the
retail store or a more experienced rider. As a rule, the
helmet should not be able to move around on your head
without pulling on your skin. A loose fitting helmet is not
only dangerous, but may also be noisy and tiring to wear.
Most people make the mistake of buying a helmet that's too
large.
3. Make The Right Decision
Most retail stores will not exchange helmets for another
size if it’s been worn for any length of time. Take your
time, try it on and wear it inside the store for several
minutes. Not every brand of helmet can fit every head size
and shape. If you find that you just can't get a comfortable
snug fit in our helmets we suggest you try a different
brand. Helmets can't provide protection if they never get
put on. We would rather see you buy what’s best for your
head shape and size.
SAFETY REMINDER
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible or
foreseeable impacts. A helmet can only protect the portion
of the head that is covered by the helmet. For maximum
protection, the helmet must be well-fitted with the
chinstrap securely fastened. Failure to follow these
instructions, the instructions printed on the helmet and
those contained in the owner’s manual may result in the
possibility of the helmet coming off during an accident -
possibly resulting in a severe head injury or even death.
While riding motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles is fun, it
can also be a dangerous pastime. At AFX, we encourage you to
enjoy riding responsibly, and to always ride within the
limits of your abilities. |
