How to get the perfect fit

A cycle helmet can only protect you it if fits properly. The helmet
should feel snug but not constricting and sit level 1-2 cm above your
eyebrows. Do not tilt it too far backwards or forwards. The Fidlock clasp
must sit under the chin and not on the jawbone. You should not be able to
get more than one finger between your chin and the strap.

Dashel helmets made from 2022 now come with an adjuster dial fit. You may need to attach the adjuster dial at the back of the helmet (some were left unplugged to ensure they fitted into the box in transit). One you have inserted the adjuster dial do not attempt to remove it again.

Before the adjuster dial, Dashel helmets were sold with 2 sets of pads. 5mm and 10mm wide pads. For a tailor made fit, you can mix and match according to whether your head is narrow, high, round or narrow. The pad fit is still an option to purchase if preferred. Spare pads are also available to purchase online.

This video explains more:

The pads are just to make the helmet as comfortable as possible. They do
not contribute to the performance of your helmet in a crash, if you wish to
remove some completely then do so.

Measure the widest part around your head – this is usually approx. 1cm above your ears. If you don’t have a flexible tape measure just use a piece of string or ribbon and find a ruler.

How to Fit your Helmet

Place the helmet on your head, push it down ensuring it sits level 1-2 cm above your eyebrows and does not tilt too far backwards or forwards. The helmet should feel snug but not constricting. Depending which helmet you have purchased, use the comfort pads or adjuster dial to adapt it to your size

Tighten the chin strap, the 'Y' shape should fit just below your ears. The Fidlock clasp must sit under the chin and not on the jawbone.

Make sure the strap feels comfortable but secure. You should not be able to get more than one finger between your chin and the strap.

How to Achieve the Perfect fit

Depending on which helmet you have purchased, you will either have a pad system to achieve the perfect fit or an integrated dial fit system.

Re-Cycle & Team GB - adjust the dial on the rear of the helmet to achieve the perfect fit.

Carbon Fibre & Ocean Edition - Included with your purchase is a set of black 10mm wide pads. The silver pads already in your helmet are just 5mm thick. For a tailor made fit, mix and match according to whether your head is narrow, high or round.

The pads are just to make the helmet as comfortable as possible. They do
not contribute to the performance of your helmet in a crash, if you wish to
remove some completely then do so.
