• II. WARNING
While it is not possible for any helmet to protect the user against all foreseeable impacts and
accidents, the proper use of this helmet will provide a far greater level of protection in the event
of an accident than if no helmet was worn. For the helmet to function properly and to help
reduce the risk of permanent injury or death, it is imperative that the helmet fits securely and
firmly on the head and that all retention straps are properly fastened. When the retention strap
is properly fastened it should not be possible, in most instances, for the helmet to be removed
from the head by either rolling the helmet towards the rear or front. This helmet is not meant to
be used as a fire retardant product and does not contain any fire retardant materials.
ONE IMPACT RULE
Helmets are designed to absorb only ONE impact. After your helmet has endured any
impact, the absorption liner portion of your helmet will have dispersed the energy from the
impact, thus rendering the liner compacted and therefore compromised. Even if there is NO
VISIBLE damage to the shell, the helmet's usefulness is expired after one impact. A helmet
that has experienced an impact should be destroyed and replaced. SCOTT Sports SA shall
not be liable for any damages and losses due to continued use of impacted helmets.
• III. PROPER FITTING
TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE FIT, YOU SHOULD PHYSICALLY TRY THE HELMET ON
IN THE STORE PRIOR TO PURCHASE TO FIND THE EXACT SIZE THAT BEST SUITS YOUR
HEAD. To determine the proper fit of your helmet, measure your head size by passing a
tape measure around your head approximately 2 c m above the eyebrow line. Use the largest
measurement from this process.

Serial number
Select the helmet size that closest matches the measurement. Since helmet sizes do not
always match perfectly with basic measurements, use the helmet size that fits snugly, but
without pressure points. SCOTT Sports SA shall not be liable for any damages and losses
due to improper fitting.
TRYING ON THE HELMET – FINDING THE RIGHT SIZE
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE FIT OF THE HELMET BE SNUG
FOR IT TO PERFORM PROPERLY. Grasp the chinstraps (see dia-
gram 1) and expand the helmet opening. Slide your head into
the helmet. If the helmet does not fit snugly or if the helmet
feels loose in any way, you should try a smaller size. To check for
proper fitting, place the helmet on your head. Make sure the hel-
met lining fits snugly around your head and that the cheek pads
are pressed close onto your cheeks. There should be no space
between your brow and the lining. Take hold of the helmet on
each side and try to move the helmet up and down as well as
side to side (see diagram 2). You should feel the skin on your
face and head being pulled along with the helmet. If the helmet
is able to move freely without rubbing your skin, the helmet is
too large and you need a smaller size.
PROPER TIGHTENING OF THE CHIN STRAP
Proper tightening of the chinstrap is critical to the functionality of this helmet. If you are
able to pull down on the fastened chinstrap from under your chin and create slack, it is not
properly fastened through the D-Rings. Follow the steps below to ensure proper fastening.
RETENTION SYSTEM CHECK
Fasten the chin strap such that it is as tight as possible without
choking. There should be no slack and the strap should fit snugly
under the chin. Place your hand on top of the helmet and attempt
to push the helmet off by rolling it forward. Next, place your hand
on the chin bar and attempt to push the helmet off by rotating it
towards the rear. If in either case, the helmet is able to come off
your head, do not use this helmet and find a better fitting size, or
check that the chin strap is securely fastened. These steps should
be repeated until you are able to find the right size helmet for you.
