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
DURA-MATTER
Oakley's most robust construction method, using an injected molded Dura-Matter shell applied over an EPS foam liner. Dura-Matter is dent and ding resistant, offering the highest level of durability.
SUPER-TUCK SHELL DESIGN
The unique rear shell design allows for an aggressive tuck position without interfering with the neck/body.
GOGGLE INTEGRATION
Designed for optimal integration with Oakley goggles and tapered around the strap area to help goggles sit securely against the face.
GATE PROTECTION FOAM
Dual-density foam is added to the fronts and sides of the helmet underneath the shell material. Designed to dampen the impact of the gate if it hits the helmet.
CONFIGURABLE PADDING
Configurable padding, designed to allow you to adjust to your head shape for enhanced comfort.
EMERGENCY REMOVAL EARPADS
Designed so first responders can remove earpads quickly and safely if the head or neck needs to be stabilized in the event of a crash.
FIXED VENTILATION
Fixed vents in front of the helmet allow for goggle ventilation, while the fixed vents on top of the helmet help keep the riders cool.
MIPS® BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM
Reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head.
Polartec® Power Grid™
Moisture-wicking, removable and washable three-dimensionally shaped vented lining to match the contours of a rider's head.
