The front of the helmet should cover the forehead. It should sit snug on your head, without fastening the chinstrap, and should not slip when you move your head. Sizing pads are provided when you buy the helmet which can help to adjust the fit. The straps should be adjusted to meet just below the ear, and fastened comfortably without choking. There should be enough room to fit one finger between your chin and the strap.

Cycling

Helmets are strongly recommended for cyclists of all ages and abilities. In Ontario, every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet. Wearing a properly fitted CSA, ANSI or SNELL approved helmet will greatly reduce the risk of serious head injuries that can result from crashes or collisions.
