How to Properly Wear a Motorcycle Helmet

Today, we’re here to talk about something very simple but often overlooked: how to properly wear a motorcycle helmet. Many times, customers who haven’t had the experience of using a helmet don’t know how to put it on correctly. In this article, we’ll explain step by step using a model 805 S2 Merced as an example.

Initial Preparation: Why Is a Hygiene Cap Important?

Before starting, it’s important to highlight that in our boutique, hygiene caps are always available to try on helmets in the most hygienic way possible. Using a cap is essential, as it not only protects but also ensures that the helmet remains clean for the next customer.

Step 1: Open the Helmet Properly to Put It On

The first step to putting on a helmet properly is to open it correctly. To do this, pull on the helmet’s straps. Often, customers leave the straps free and try to put it on without success, which makes the task much harder.

It’s important to remember that the helmet should initially fit snugly over the head. If the helmet isn’t opened properly, it will be difficult to put it on correctly. The helmet’s padding is designed to be circular and fit the shape of the face. Therefore, always pull the straps outward without fear to open the helmet correctly. This won’t damage the helmet, as it’s made to withstand this movement.

Step 2: Place the Helmet on the Forehead

Once the helmet is open, the next step is to place it on the forehead. When doing so, make sure the helmet is well centered and doesn’t move. Pull the straps inward to secure it well. The helmet should fit the head comfortably without pressing too much.

Step 3: Adjust the Helmet and Fasten the Straps Correctly

It’s very important that the helmet is properly adjusted. Sometimes, people try to put it on superficially, but this isn’t correct. The helmet must be well fitted. After placing it on the forehead, pull the straps inward to adjust it correctly. This ensures the helmet won’t move or come off.

Step 4: How to Safely Remove the Helmet

To remove the helmet, do the same but in reverse. Instead of pulling the straps inward as when putting it on, pull them outward. This way, it will come off easily, and potential injuries to the ears or face will be avoided. Don’t be afraid to pull the straps firmly, as the helmet is designed to withstand it.

Final Tips for Using the Helmet

  • Always check the helmet’s fit before each use. Make sure the straps are properly secured and the helmet doesn’t move.
  • The helmet should properly cover the head, especially the forehead area, without causing discomfort.
  • Use a hygiene cap to keep the helmet clean and in good condition.
  • Avoid leaving the straps inside the helmet to prevent injuries to the ears or face.

Conclusion

In summary, putting on a helmet correctly isn’t too difficult, but it requires some practice and attention to detail. A well-fitted helmet is not only more comfortable but also essential for safety while riding. We hope this article has been helpful in learning how to wear the helmet properly. We’ve included a complete video demonstrating these instructions in a simple way. Thank you for reading, and see you next time!
