Step 2: Observe the distance between the helmet and your temple as well as the distance between the helmet and the back of the head. This should be no more than finger width. The fit should be snug but comfortable.

Step 3: Clip the chinstrap closed and dial in the fit so that the straps come together just below your ear at the jawline. You should be able to place two fingers under the strap at the chin.
Step 4: Make sure there is little to no movement when you shake your head and adequate coverage for the forehead. Two fingers between the eyebrows and the helmet is a good rule.
