Clean
•
Unthread the chin strap webbing
from the ladder locks. Remove the sus-
pension pads from the inside of the
helmet shell. Take off the helmet cover.
•
Machine wash the chin strap, pads
and cover in the gentle cycle with cold
water and detergent.
•
You can also scrub them by hand
with cold water and detergent. If you
like, let them soak for 10 or 15 minutes
before washing. Frequent washing
helps prevent pad odor. It also makes
the chin strap more comfortable to
wear and easier to adjust.
•
Rinse them thoroughly with clean
water and let them air dry. Do not
machine dry. You could shrink the fab-
ric or damage the pads.
•
Wash the ACH shell the same way,
with cold water and detergent. Then
rinse it with clean water and let it air
dry.
•
Use a small nail brush or toothbrush
to clean dirt and debris from the hook
disks on the inside of the shell.
Keeping the hooks and loops clean
helps the pads stick.
