HELMET FITMENT GUIDE LS2 UPDATED 0522
STEP ONE Measure Head Circumference OR FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE • Use a fabric or paper tape measure (or string and ruler) to find the head circumference in inches. • Make sure the tape measure touches the following points on the head: - 1 inch above the browline - ½ inch above the ears - Occipital bone on the back of the head Note: For those with thicker hair, compress tape measure until feeling the hair “push back” or create slight resistance to the tape measure.
STEP TWO Select The Helmet Size CHOOSE HELMET SIZE SMALL VARSITY 19.0” YOUTH 19.5” MEDIUM 20.0” 20.5” 21.0” LARGE • Refer to the size chart for a starting point in selecting helmet size. You may need to go up or down in size after checking for proper fit. • Varsity helmets include a dual-density two-piece Armor Foam liner and are generally used for larger and faster players at the high school level and above. Typically, 14 years old and older.
STEP THREE Learn About The Light Fitting System A The LIGHT LS2 helmet comes equipped with 15 (Youth) or 17 (Varsity) round fit pads installed in the helmet. The fit pads are attached to the Armor Foam liner by hook & loop fasteners in the locations identified in Picture A and Picture B. Each LS2 also comes with six fitment shims which are identified in Picture C. Every individual has a unique head size and the location (and number) of the fitment pads can be changed in order to customize the best fit.
STEP FOUR - A Put On The Helmet And Adjust The Fit HELMET • Hold helmet with thumbs over the bottom of the jaw pads. Place index fingers into ear holes and pull down helmet into position. • If the helmet fits too loose you can use the provided fitment shims to secure a better fit. The fitment shims are designed to be installed underneath the fitment pads and can be placed in any location in order to customize the fit of the helmet.
STEP FOUR - B Put On The Helmet And Adjust The Fit JAW PADS • The LIGHT LS2 comes with a standard size jaw pad and one (Youth) or two (Varsity) sets of jaw pad shims. The jaw pad shims are designed to be installed underneath the jaw pads and multiple shims can be stacked in order to customize the fit. • LIGHT Helmet jaw pads are attached with extra strength hook & loop fasteners. The jaw pads should fit firm against the jaw; however, should not cause significant compression of the jaw pad foam.
STEP FOUR - C Put On The Helmet And Adjust The Fit CHINSTRAP • The chin straps need to be thread FLAT and UNDER the face mask. • The player should hold the chin cup firmly in place on his/her chin while the chin straps are attached AND adjusted. The player should not let go of the chin cup until instructed to do so by the person attaching and adjusting the chin straps. • Adjust and fasten the top straps and then the bottom straps.
STEP FIVE Check The Final Fit If the helmet does not meet ALL of the following check list items, the player needs a different size and/or a different style of helmet: 1. The helmet rests 1” above the eyebrow 2. The player’s ear canal is lined up with the helmet’s ear holes, and you can see the player’s ear canal through the helmet’s ear holes. 3. The player’s Occipital bone is completely covered by and touching the back of the helmet.
