Key Features

• Adjustable Dial Retention System: Allows for quick and precise fitting by simply twisting the dial at the back of the helmet. This ensures a snug, secure fit tailored to individual head shapes and sizes, reducing movement during activity and enhancing overall stability.
• Fully Adjustable Straps: Includes side and chin straps that can be fine-tuned for personalized comfort. These straps help maintain the helmet’s position securely on the head, preventing shifting while riding.
• Double Microshell Construction: Made with two layers of durable microshell material over EPS foam, providing enhanced structural integrity and impact resistance. This layered design increases longevity and protects against everyday wear and potential falls.
• Full-Coverage Interior Padding: Surrounds the entire head in soft, breathable padding for 360° comfort. The padding helps absorb shock and reduces pressure points, allowing for extended wear without discomfort.
• Removable Visor: Protects riders from sun, rain, and debris when attached. The visor is easy to remove or reattach depending on weather conditions or personal preference, offering flexibility for different riding environments.
