How to get the perfect fit
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, round or
narrow.
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.
Remember 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.
