Bike helmets: The right fit

Choosing a helmet that fits and wearing it properly increase your protection. A knowledgeable store employee can help you try on helmets until you find one that's suitable. Use the guidelines below:

• Use the appropriate foam pads and the rear stabilizer or helmet's fit system to create a snug (but not tight) fit when you place the helmet level on your head.
  
  
• With the chin strap buckled and all other straps tight, push up firmly on the helmet's front edge. If the helmet moves enough to expose the forehead, shorten the front straps, then tighten the chin strap enough so that you can feel the top of the helmet when you open your mouth. Repeat as necessary.
  
  
• Grasp the helmet by its rear edge and peel it off to the front. If it moves enough to cover your eyes, shorten the back straps (but leave the front straps alone). Repeat as necessary.
  
  
• If you still can't achieve a satisfactory fit, choose another model.
