How to Properly Adjust a Hockey Helmet
Fitting a hockey helmet correctly is crucial for player safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Choose the right size: Measure the circumference of your head above your eyebrows. The helmet should fit snugly but not too tightly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
