How to wear a helmet correctly
01 Quantity and adjustment
Measure your head circumference or try on the helmet to determine the size of the helmet, and open the rear adjuster to the maximum when wearing. 02 Wear horizontally
Wear the helmet horizontally, not leaning forward or backwards. The helmet is tilted backwards to block the view and does not protect the rear position of the head, and the helmet is tilted forward to cause the helmet to fail to protect the forehead position. 03 Tightening
Screw the adjuster tight until the helmet doesn't wobble and feels comfortable. 04Adjust the height
Adjust the height of the black split buckles on the webbing on both sides of the helmet so that the ears are positioned exactly between the front and rear webbing. 05 Adjust the length and fasten it
Adjust the position of the chin socket to the length and fasten it, leaving a finger gap in the lower jaw, which is a safe and suitable way to wear.
● Helmets should take into account safety and balance. The closer the helmet's center of gravity is to the head, the more comfortable it is, and the soft foam spacer inside the helmet protects the helmet from a violent impact.
● Regularly check the condition of the helmet to avoid cracks, broken buckles, loose buckles on the buckles, etc., to ensure that the helmet plays the greatest protective role.

Misconceptions about helmets
Wear a helmet only when riding a motorcycle
Not only motorcycles, but also e-bikes, as well as motorcycles and e-bikes, should wear helmets correctly to ensure their own safety. In addition, reflective signs can be posted on the helmet, so that when riding at night, it can also warn surrounding vehicles to avoid it.
Buy a helmet online at random
The safety helmet should conform to your head circumference size and head shape, and try to ensure that the helmet fits the head. Otherwise, in the event of an accident, the helmet may fall off, etc., and the head cannot be effectively protected.
Wear a helmet without a buckle
Some friends do not fasten the buckle strap or tie it too loosely when using the safety helmet, once in case of danger, the helmet is easy to fall and cannot play a protective role. When using a safety helmet, the buckle strap should be adjusted to be comfortable, tight, and not easy to fall.
Use a hard hat as a helmet
The safety helmet is used to cushion the impact of falling objects from heights, while the safety helmet must withstand high-speed friction and other tests in addition to cushioning direct impact. And construction site helmets often fail to protect the most vulnerable part of the head. Therefore, a construction helmet should not be used as a substitute for a safety helmet used while riding.
The helmet is the last line of defense for riders, with a helmet is not equal to wearing a helmet without buckle = not wearing a safety protection, so choosing the right helmet is the premise, and wearing it correctly is the key, please be sure to learn and keep in mind the majority of riders!
