Studied as a protection for the head, this is a helmet for mountaineers, alpine
skiers and snowboarders. Please familiarise yoursef with this product before

as mountaineering and climbing are dangerous sports that can involve unfore-
seeable risks. You are responsible for any activities that you undertake and any
decisions that you make. Please find out about the risks involved in these type
of sports prior to practising them. DYNAFIT recommends full training by appro-
priate personnel (e.g. mountain guides, climbing trainers) before undertaking
any mountaineering or climbing activities. In addition, anyone practising these
sports is fully responsible for finding out about the proper course of action and
techniques required for the safe performance of any rescue operations. The

This product protects from rock fall and impacts and corresponds to the
standard EN 12492:2012 und EN 1077:2007. Mountaineering helmets are
headwear primarily intended to protect the upper part of the wearer's head
against hazards which might occur during activities carried out by moun-
taineers; skiing/snowboarding helmets are intended to reduce the risk of in-
jury to the skull and part of the head surrounded by the helmet during acti-
vities carried out by skiers and/or snowboarders. In particular, these helmets
are designed to absorb the energy produced during the collision by reducing
the intensity of the trauma suffered by the head. However, wearing a helmet
cannot prevent death or permanent disability.

WARNING: For adequate protection this helmet has to fit or to be adjusted to the
size of the user's head.
If it does not fit correctly, DO NOT USE THE HELMET. Swap it for another size
or another model. A helmet that does not properly fit your head, or which is too
loose, will significantly impair the helmet's protective capability.
Illustration 1 - Adjusting helmet fit to your head size: First, expand the head-
band to its maximum dimensions via the adjustment wheel (turn anti-clockwi-
se) and put the helmet on. Then turn the wheel clockwise until the headband
sits snug to your head. To get the perfect fit, you can slide the headband
vertically up or down at the back.
Illustration 2 – Adjusting the chin strap: The chin strap should sit at the sides
of your head and is fastened with the buckle under your chin. For a snug and
comfortable fit, the strap length can be adjusted under your chin. To position
the strap properly at the sides of your head, shift the divider and adjust the
strap length to fit your head shape so that the strap sits below your ears on both
sides. The straps must not cover your ears. When the buckle is closed, the chin
strap should not apply any pressure on your Adam's apple.
Illustration 3 - Attaching a headlamp: bring the clips to fix the headtorch in the
provided places on the helmet, slide the headlamp strap under the flexible clips
on the outer shell and position the lamp at the front of the helmet.
Illustration 4 – Check: When the chin strap is fastened and the headband is
flat to your head, ensure that the helmet is sitting level horizontally and that it
cannot slip forwards or backwards.
Illustration 5 - Magnetic buckle: To close: Bring both buckle ends together so
that they slot into one another. The magnetic buckle closes with a loud click.
To open: Remove the buckle end at the bottom from the one above by pulling
slightly. Plug buckle: To close: Push both buckle ends one into another so that
they slot together. The plug buckle closes with a loud click. To open: Press the
buckle laterally. Remove ear pad for mountaineering or climbing activities.

Class A and Class B helmets are intended for alpine skiers, snowboarders and
groups of a similar nature. Class A helmets offer comparably more safety. Class
B helmets grant more ventilation and allow you to hear better. They cover a
smaller portion of your head and offer less protection against penetration. Al-
ways check the condition of your helmet first before using it. Check all straps,
attachment parts and make sure that the adjustment elements on the head-
band function properly. Make sure that the helmet shape is not deformed and
that it does not have any other visible damage.
WARNING: The helmet is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruc-
tion or damage, and even though such damage may not be readily apparent,
any helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced. For this reason,
the helmet must be replaced immediately following any significant impact in
cases such as a climber fall or as a result of rock or ice fall, even if the damage
is not visible.
Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives or self-adhesive labels, except in accor-
dance with instructions from the helmet manufacturer.
Extreme temperatures (below -20°C/-4°F and above +35°C/95°F), cleaning
materials, hydrocarbons and paint, solvents, adhesives/glues or stickers can all
alter the physical characteristics of the helmet, and therefore may only be used
with instructions or permission provided by the manufacturer. If there is the
least doubt about the safety of the product, it is to be replaced immediately.

The helmet's lifespan is very dependent on the following factors: regularity
of use, type of use, external influences, correct maintenance and cleaning
method. DYNAFIT explicitly recommends replacing any safety equipment
(PSA/PPE equipment) after a maximum of 10 years from the date of producti-
on, regardless of whether the product has been used regularly or not. Extreme
and very demanding usage can even lead to a lifespan of less than one year.
If the helmet suffers any extreme shock loads such as those that occur fol-
lowing a climber falling, or in cases of rock and ice fall, it must be replaced
immediately even if there are no visible signs of damage.

You should store your helmet somewhere dry, cool and well ventilated,
away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing the helmet near any heat sour-
ces, or anywhere where it is exposed to direct or persistent UV rays or
extreme temperatures. Do not store your helmet in your backpack.
Ensure that your helmet never comes into contact with aggressive chemi-
cals such as battery acid, solvents or salt.
C L E A N I N G A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
For cleaning, maintenance or disinfection, use only substances that have
no adverse effect on the helmet and are not known to be likely to have
any adverse effect upon the wearer, when applied in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and information.
Heavy soiling on your helmet can be washed off with mild soap but do not
use any chemical cleaning products or solvents. Rinse your helmet thoroughly
after cleaning and dry it all over with a towel. Please note that you may damage
your helmet by modifying or removing any of the original component parts of
the helmet, other than as recommended by the helmet manufacturer. Helmets
should not be adapted for the purpose of fitting attachments in any way not
recommended by the helmet manufacturer. Do not carry out any repairs or
modify your helmet yourself. If you notice that the helmet is damaged, you
should replace it.
T R A N S P O R T
Protect your helmet from any mechanical wear or damage, solar radiati-
on, chemicals or dirt. The best approach is to get a protective bag for
your helmet and/or a special storage and transport container. Your hel-
met is delivered in a heavy-duty box which can be used for this purpose.
