SIZING GUIDE

FAST helmets have been designed from the ground up to t the largest group of users in helmet sizes

that most closely match their heads. However, there is still a small percentage of users that will not

t our standard sizing congurations. Please use the sizing guide below to determine your helmet size and your chinstrap size. If you require a non-standard chinstrap/helmet conguration, custom

solutions are available.

PRO SETUP

FAST Helmets were designed for professionals who expect the most from their equipment. Just like fine-tuning the suspension on a racecar or sighting in a fire-arm, the helmet must be set up properly before use to function correctly. If you do not follow these instructions, your helmet will not function in

accordance with stated performance.

ADJUST THE TOP PADS

• Put the helmet on. All Lux Liner Pads come pre-installed in the helmet.

Worm-Dial Fitband Users:

Turn the Worm-Dial to loosen the Fitband so that all of the helmet weight is resting on top of your head. With the Fitband loose, check how high / low the helmet is sitting.

• All Users: Forehead pad should be above and not resting on the bony ridge of your eyebrows.

(5) Top Pads

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• The distance from the top of the eyebrow to the bottom front of

0.5”-1”

the Lux Liner Impact Layer should be approximately 0.5”- 1”.

There should also be enough room around your ears for COMMs hearing protection.

• If the helmet sits at an uncomfortable angle, adjust the top

pads or try using the Additional Pads provided in different combinations (see step two “Additional Pads” for more detail)

ADDITIONAL PADS

• If the helmet feels tight or uncomfortable, adjust the Top Pads,

Additional Thin x2 or x4 Pad(s) try different combinations until helmet feels comfortable.
