TLD Bike Helmet Fitting

• Measure your head to select the correct size helmet
• Once you get your new Troy Lee D2 Helmet, check your new helmet for proper fit.
  • It should fit snug all around your head
  • Take hold of your helmet with your hands on each side and without moving your head, try to move the helmet up and down and side to side.
  • You should have full helmet-to-head and helmet-to-cheek contact around the entire surface of the helmet.
  • If this is not the case, install the sizing kit
• There are eight (8) custom shaped, high density foam size pads supplied to aid in proper fit of your helmet
• These pieces will adhere to the inner black Styrofoam impact liner, under the fabric comfort lining.
• One kit will reduce the internal size of the helmet by about 0.8 inch, 2cm, or 1/4 hat size.
• Included with the kit are custom fit pads that can be used for added thickness to custom fit various head shapes.

Troy Lee Designs D2 Helmet Chin Strap

• Slip the loose end of strap through both D-rings, from the inside
• Spread d-rings apart and slip strap between the two rings
• Pull strap out from the bottom and pull tension down to fit
• Check the chin strap for proper adjustment:
  • With the chin strap secured, try to pull the helmet off by placing one hand on the front and one on the top of the helmet.
  • Try to rotate the helmet in a forward / down motion, and in an upward motion.
  • If the helmet begins to come off in either case, do not use the helmet. The helmet is too large, or needs to be further adjusted with the sizing kit and/or the chin strap needs to be tighter.
