Pro-tec Helmet Fitting Guide:

Without proper fit, maximum protection and comfort are compromised. The following must be exercised to ensure the correct fit: • Using a flexible tape measure, measure the head from just above the eyebrow and around the rest of the head at its widest point. Determine circumference of head in centimeters and refer to the PRO-TEC fit chart to determine proper size. • To ensure proper fit, place helmet on head and make sure there are 3 fingers width from bridge of nose to brim of helmet. The ideal position covers the forehead; as opposed to being worn further back on the head, which exposes the forehead in case of an accident. • Adjust and secure all straps and buckles to fit. Adjust the triangle wedge on the straps just below the ear to provide equal tension on both the front and rear straps leading to the triangle. Then adjust the chinstrap to have a secure but comfortable fit around the chin, make sure it’s not loose. Finally, fasten the chinstrap buckle, ensuring that it is clipped at all times during use. • With the helmet on and tightly fastened, make sure the helmet cannot be removed from your head or rolled backward or forward excessively. Make sure the chinstrap buckle is not resting on your jawbone. When properly fitted and adjusted, your ears should not be covered by any part of the straps. Make sure that you can see clearly and that your peripheral vision is not blocked. • Once properly fitted, the helmet should fit comfortable, but snug.
