How to Properly Adjust a Hockey Helmet

Fitting a hockey helmet correctly is crucial for player safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Choose the right size: Measure the circumference of your head above your eyebrows. The helmet should fit snugly but not too tightly.
  2. Adjust the chin strap: Buckle the chin strap and adjust it until it's snug against your chin. The strap should not be loose enough to allow the helmet to move around.
  3. Tighten the back strap: Find the lace or knob at the back of the helmet and tighten it until the helmet feels secure. It should not be too tight, as this can cause discomfort.
  4. Secure the visor: If your helmet has a visor, insert it and adjust it so that it provides clear visibility. Ensure it's securely attached and won't fall off during play.
  5. Final check: Shake your head from side to side and up and down to ensure the helmet stays in place. If it moves, tighten the straps further.
