WARNING
No helmet can protect against all possible impacts or injuries. The function of this helmet is to reduce the chance or severity of a head injury
in an accident. The helmet will not protect any area which is not covered by the helmet including the neck or spine. Serious injury or death
can occur even if the helmet is properly used. To ensure maximum protection, the helmet must fit properly with retention straps securely
fastened under the chin. See (FIG. B) for proper positioning and (FIG. E-G) for strap fastening instructions. The Xact helmet should not be
used by children while climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk of the child hanging him/herself. This helmet is designed for
cyclists and for users of skateboards or roller skates. This Helmet is not intended for use with motorized vehicles including motorcycles,
ATV's or motor scooters. Modifications or changes which do not correspond with the original product can result in severe injury or death. Do
not modify or remove any original components of the helmet unless replacing with approved iXS parts. Helmets should not be adapted for
the purpose of fitting accessories in any way not recommended by the manufacturer. This helmet has been designed to absorb impacts by
partial destruction of its components. After a violent impact, this helmet should be discarded and replaced even if it looks undamaged. Always
check your helmet before use. If there is visible damage, stop using the helmet immediately. If you find deterioration in any component, either
replace that component or get a new helmet. Check the security of the retention straps and always make sure that the interior lining and the
cheek pads are attached before use.
SIZING
To be effective, the helmet must fit properly. Refer to the helmet's size range and try on different sizes to deter-
mine which size feels most secure and comfortable.
To determine your helmet size:
• Wrap a tape measure around the head horizontally about 2.5cm or about 1 inch above the eyebrows to obtain
the largest head circumference measurement. See (FIG. A)
• Use the size chart to select a helmet which is closest to your head size.
• Note that the size chart is intended to be used as a guide and not a substitute for trying the helmet on.

WARNING
Always wear your helmet in the correct position. See (FIG.
B). Wearing your helmet incorrectly, see (FIG. C/D), may lead
to serious injury or death.
FITTING
• Remove cheek pads from the helmet.
• Firmly grip one retention strap in each hand and expand the helmet opening by pulling the straps outward and then slide the helmet onto
your head.
• The helmet should fit snugly around your head even without the cheek pads.
• Check the fit by rotating the helmet from left to right on your head. If correct, your skin should move with the helmet lining.
• If the helmet slips easily in any direction, then try using the next size down.
• If the helmet is too tight, then try the next size up.
• Next, remove the helmet and attach the cheek pads that were previously assembled with the helmet and put the helmet on following the
previous method.
• Make sure the cheek pads are in contact with your cheeks, and that the cheek pads are compressed.
• If the helmet is too tight remove the helmet and insert the thinner set of cheek pads.
• If the helmet is too loose, insert the thicker set of cheek pads.
The helmet should be adjusted to fit the user, e.g. the straps positioned so that they do not
cover the ears, the buckle positioned away from the jawbone and the straps and buckle
adjusted to be both comfortable and firm.
SECURING RETENTION STRAPS (DOUBLE-D LOOP)
FIG. A
Retention straps must be secured to ensure proper function. Loose straps may allow the
helmet to come off during an impact and result in serious injury or death. If fastened prop-
erly, the helmet should remain in position when pulled or rotated in any direction. Do not
use a helmet that can be removed with the retention straps fastened.
• Fasten the D ring retention system by threading the end of the strap through both D
rings as shown in (FIG. E)
• Tighten the strap by feeding it between the D loops as shown in (FIG. F)
• Fasten the strap end snap on the D ring side as shown in (FIG. G) to secure the loose end.
