Important information

Before using your new helmet please take a moment to read the following instructions for its use and care.

This helmet was developed for skiing and snowboarding and is manufactured using state of the art processes. However, even the highest safety standards do not exclude the possibility of injury in a serious accident. The impact may be so great that the helmet will not offer its wearer effective head protection. Conformity with the demands of Appendix II of the European directive 89 / 686 / European Economic Community (and later modifications) as well as with those of the harmonising technical norm Class EN1077:2007 B was certified by the officials responsible at the TÜV Süd Product Service GmbH, Ridlerstraße 65, 80339 München, Notified Body No 0123.

A Class A helmet is a high performance protective helmet for skiers and snowboarders. A Class B helmet is a helmet for skiers and snowboarders for which the requirements are a little less restrictive.

A Class B helmet can thus offer more air circulation and comfort, without giving up too much protection.

Class A and class B helmets are for alpine skiers, snowboarders and similar groups. Class A helmets offer comparatively more protection, Class B helmets can offer more ventilation and allow better hearing. However, they protect a smaller area of the head and give a lower measure of protection.

This ski helmet is suitable for use with ski goggles. Be sure the ski goggles accurately fit into the helmet opening and doesn't press into the bridge of your nose when the helmet is tightly closed.

Safety instructions

• The helmet must fit securely and the chin strap must be firmly closed.
• Do not tip the helmet back as this will leave your forehead unprotected. The straps must be positioned over the jaw bones (Fig. B).
• Do not wear any head covering under the helmet.
• Ensure that the airflow inside the helmet is not restricted.
• Do not make any changes to the helmet, its structure or the individual components.
• Do not paint the helmet or put stickers or labels on it.
• The helmet is intended to protect your head in the event of an impact. After just one (even light) impact this protection is no longer guaranteed. Discontinue using the helmet after an impact or collision, rendered unusable and disposed of, even if there is no visible damage.
• Do not use petroleum-containing solvents or detergents to clean either the interior or exterior of your helmet. Use pH-neutral soap diluted in clean water, and rub it into the helmet carefully using a soft cloth. Wipe dry with a fluff-free cloth. The ear cushions can be cleaned with a little soap and a soft brush.
  The visor should be cleaned with soap and water only, and left to air-dry. Do not expose the visor to sources of heat!
• Only use genuine spare parts for your helmet.
• Do not allow children to wear this helmet while climbing or playing as this carries a risk of strangulation.

- The lifespan of the helmet depends on its use. However the helmet should be changed five years after the date of manufacture at the latest.

Ear buds/headphones

Please follow these safety precautions when using ear buds or headphones:

Danger!

- Never use headphones or ear buds whilst skiing or barding!

• During ascent or while waiting be sure to keep the volume at a level that allows you to hear all ambient noise and announcements.
• Not observing announcements e.g. of the mountain rescue service may result in a life threatening situation!
• Be sure the cables is not bothersome or protrudes from your body. Risk of strangulation if wires get caught e.g. on the lift or other skiers.
• You may be unable to hear warning signals from snow groomers and not hear or be oblivious to other skiers on the run, and your sense of balance could be impaired.

Selecting the helmet size

	S/M	56 - 59cm
	L/XL	59 - 62cm

- Choose your helmet by measuring the circumference of your head with a flexible tape measure. Always try on a couple of different sizes before buying. When wearing the helmet, the skin of your temples should move with it.

• Make sure that the helmet does not move around too much when the chin strap is open.

- The chin strap must fit securely. It should sit comfortably under the chin, as far back towards the neck as possible. Fasten it as tight as possible. It is correctly fitted when you find it difficult to insert your finger between the chinstrap and neck, yet are still able to breathe and swallow easily. Make sure that the helmet does not restrict your movements, e.g. when turning your head to look behind you.

- The helmet fits correctly if it's tight but comfortable on the head.

- If the helmet is too large (wiggly, can't be tightened securely) or too small (pressure, forehead is uncovered) please select the next larger or smaller size helmet.

- Do not use the helmet if you are unable to correctly adjust it.

Ventilation system

You can regulate the ventilation using the slider. There are three possible settings: open, half open, and closed (4) (Fig. A).

Adjusting the chin strap

The length of the chinstrap can be adjusted using the loop. You can alter the position of the chinstrap by using the strap divider clip. However please ensure that the strap divider does not cause irritation. We recommend positioning it at the end of the ear padding (figure C).

Harness adjustment

Use the dial to adjust the helmet to your head size to ensure the helmet is seated optimally. Turn the wheel to the left to loosen the headband on the helmet and to the right to tighten the headband (Fig. D).

Harness height adjustment

The height of the harness system is adjustable. There are 3 different height adjustments. Pull the connector pin on the harness system out of the tab locations in the EPS shell (Fig. F).

The pins on the harness system can now be moved to a higher or lower tab location. Firmly press the pins into the latching points until you can hear and feel them lock in. Always be sure both pins lock in. Position the padding as shown in figure F.

Removable ear pads (Fig. E)

Pull the ear pads with force until the flaps of the ear pads are detached from the helmet. Unfasten the chin strap and remove the ear pads.

To affix the ear pad, thread the ends of the unfastened chin strap through the ear pad loops and insert the flaps into the helmet slot until these make an audible latching click. Please pay attention to the left and right markings (L/R) on the corresponding ear pads.

Servicing and maintenance

Regular servicing and maintenance contributes to the safety and preservation of the helmet.

• Always use pH-neutral soap diluted in clear water, and rub carefully with a soft cloth. Afterwards wipe dry with a fluff-free cloth.
• The cushion can be cleaned with a little soap and a soft brush.
