Now I'm going to take a minute to show you guys how to size and fit your helmet. First off, this is a Brine & Triumph helmet. It's got a adjustable knob in the back that when you tighten it, it gets snug to the back of your head. And then as you loosen it, it loosens up. The chin strap you just adjust so when you put the helmet on the visor is covering your eyes and you keep the bottom loose so it's not too high up. So you have a good line of sight right through these holes right here. Now, when putting on a helmet, you want to put your forehead in first and you want to make sure you have your ears tucked in so it's not going to pull your ears down so they flop over and it gets real uncomfortable. With this Triumph helmet, you're going to adjust the knob in the back so it fits nicely, so it hugs the back of your head so it's nice and snug. It's because you don't want it bouncing around on your head. You want it to fit on there nice and snug so it's real safe. You don't want a whole lot of wiggle room in there. With the chin strap, you just want to... it's got the two bottom snaps. Kirks just going to snap these guys on there just to show how comfortable it's supposed to be so he's still able to open is mouth, able to talk and the visor is still pretty low and he's looking right through the proper line of sight through the face mask.
