2.1. Sizing and Fitment

Proper helmet fit is crucial for safety. A helmet should fit snugly around your head without causing pressure points. If the helmet is too loose, it may shift during an impact, reducing protection. If it's too tight, it can cause discomfort and headaches.

1. Zmierz swoją głowę: Use a cloth measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head at its largest point, approximately one inch above your eyebrows and around the back of your head.
2. Sprawdź tabelę rozmiarów: Refer to the Bell sizing chart (usually available where the helmet was purchased or on the manufacturer's website) to find the recommended size.
3. Przymierz kask: When trying on the helmet, ensure it sits level on your head, with the top edge of the eyeport just above your eyebrows.
4. Check for Snugness: The helmet should feel snug all around your head. Your cheeks should be compressed by the cheek pads.
5. Perform the Roll-Off Test: With the chin strap securely fastened, try to roll the helmet off your head from the back. If it comes off, it is too large.
6. Check for Pressure Points: Wear the helmet for a few minutes to identify any uncomfortable pressure points.
