Helmet Fit Check:
- Your helmet should fit snugly and square on your head. Make sure that it is not tilted too far back or forward on your head.
- Cheek pads touch, but do not press uncomfortably.
- Make sure there are no gaps around your temples, brow or back of the neck
- With the straps securely fastened, shake your head slightly from side to side and back and forth. If it moves or feels loose, then it is too big. (Also remember that the comfort liner will compress a little with use, so a new helmet should fit as tight as you can comfortably wear.)
- Again with the straps fastened, try to roll the helmet forward off your head. If you can get it off, it is too big.
- Feel for any pressure spots. Check for any soreness or red spots after you remove the helmet. If you find any, try the next size up or a different model. All brands fit a little different, so try on multiple styles for the best fit.

Technical Info
POC SPIN
Rotational impact protection is necessary to counter the forces involved in oblique impacts, which are a common cause of head injury. SPIN pads are integrated inside a helmet and add an extra layer of rotational impact protection by shearing in any direction, allowing the head to move relative to the helmet, reducing the force transmitted to the brain.
Multi-Impact EEP with VPD 2.0 Inserts
Expanded Polyproylene (EPP) has the ability to withstand multiple-impacts with a very limited loss of performance making it well suited for protection against repetitive gate hits. Visco-elastic polymer dough (VPD) 2.0 inserts in the back of the helmet absorbs low to mid energy impacts. The combination of these two materials provides protection against repeated impacts as well as full on crashes.
