What protection and approvals does this helmet provide?

• Lightweight weight (~1.05 kg packed) helps reduce neck fatigue

What styling and functional details should I expect from the design?

The helmet’s classic German half-shell profile keeps a retro aesthetic while practical touches improve day-to-day use. Small brim and subtle splice edging provide useful sun control and visual texture without overcomplicating the look.

• Matte black finish with fine painting process for a scratch-resistant surface
• Small brim reduces sun glare and protects the eyes
• Simple outer-edge splice adds depth and a vintage feel
• Unisex silhouette suitable for a wide range of helmet styles and wardrobes

How should I pick the right size and care for this helmet?

Measure your head circumference one inch (25 mm) above the eyebrows and across the widest part of the back of the head to select the correct size. Maintain the helmet by keeping the shell clean and inspecting straps and buckles periodically.

• Use a tape measure above the eyebrows and over the ears for accurate sizing
• Choose the size that matches your widest head measurement for best fit
• Wipe shell with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents
• Check chin strap and quick-release buckle for wear before each ride
