FINDING THE PROPER FIT

Exotic Sportbike and AFX believes that for any helmet to protect the user properly, it must fit correctly. A well-fitted helmet can help reduce the risk of serious injury or death resulting from a head impact during an accident. DETERMINE YOUR AFX HELMET 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. Try The Helmet On 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 properly fitted 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 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 Exotic Sportbike and AFX, we encourage you to enjoy riding responsibly, and to always ride within the limits of your abilities.
