The chin-strap fastening is Double-D. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
Fit and the exact version
Try the helmet on before committing to a size: check even contact around the head and secure retention with the strap fastened.
