HOW TO ADJUST THE STRAPS
First position the helmet on your head so that the front is level with the back 
and parallel to the ground. Your helmet should not be tilted back on your head 
(Figure 1). When the helmet is level with your head you want both the front and 
rear straps to be even, with the Tri Loc strap guides positioned just below the 
ears (Figure 2). If your straps are uneven they can be adjusted by pulling them 
through the rear of the helmet. To adjust the length of the straps open the Tri 
Loc (Figure 3) and slide whichever strap needs adjustment up or down until it 
is in the correct position. Any slack in the strap must be pulled through the chin 
buckle. Then snap the Tri Loc closed and adjust the other side. The loose ends of 
the straps must be passed through the rubber “0” ring. The straps should not 
cover your ears. Next, close the chin buckle and tighten the combined straps 
until they are comfortable underneath your chin. Position the buckle away 
from your jaw bone. To see if your straps are correctly adjusted try and pull the 
helmet off from both the front and back. If it can be tipped forward, tighten the 
back straps. If it can be tipped backwards tighten the front straps.
HOW TO KEEP YOUR HELMET AS GOOD AS NEW
High temperatures will melt a Giro hardbody shell. Do not leave your helmet in 
your car or anywhere else near direct or indirect heat. If your helmet deteriorates
as a result of exposure to heat it is not covered by any Giro warranty. We 
recommend cleaning your helmet with mild soap and water, and a soft cloth or 
sponge. Do not use ammonia or solvent-based products.
