A well maintained and well used helmet is the assurance of effective protection!
We take all the necessary care to provide you with high quality and high protection helmets. Once in hand, always make sure that your helmet always gives you this protection.
Thus, if your helmet has fallen, we invite you to replace your helmet with a new helmet to be sure to have effective protection. Shocks can make internal changes that are not necessarily visible to the naked eye.
It is also for this reason that we advise you not to reuse a helmet in 2nd hand.
A crack, a damaged interior or an old helmet cannot guarantee your safety. We invite you to focus on your safety and replace your old helmet with a new one.
It is advisable, between each use, to store the helmet in its specific fabric bag, making sure beforehand that its interior is dry. Do not store the helmet next to a source of heat or UV radiation or in a wet place, or with high thermal amplitudes at the risk of altering the color quality of the paints, the eps system or the inner liner.
Specifically for the BOXER models: in order to optimize the operation and tightness between the visor and the chin bar, it is advisable to store the helmet with the visor closed and the chin bar locked in order to put the foams in place.
Cleaning your helmet properly will help you preserve its quality.
IMPORTANT: For safe cleaning, never use alcohol or solvent hydrocarbon and glass cleaning products, only clean your helmet with warm water and mild soap. Do not apply any varnish or adhesive.

All our helmets are compatible with intercom kits.
Our BOXXER, BOXXER CARBON and DESMO are equipped with specific locations for installing intercom kit headphones.
IMPORTANT : Just make sure that a microphone with a rod is delivered as standard and not a microphone to stick on the front of the chin strap since they are versatile hemets.
At the bottom of each comfort cheek pad you will find a foam mounted on a velcro. This foam can be removed to obtain more space at the ears and thus position the headphones.
We advise you to position the headphones at the top of the "Y" shape of the chin strap to avoid the cover of the earpeace. You can even slightly slide the earphone under the lining, between shell and lining, for even more comfort, as in the photo of the BOXXER below:
Example of SENA SMH5 installation on a ROOF DESMO helmet:
This kind to kit is well suited to ROOF versatile hemets, it has a microphone mounted on rod and not a system to be glued in the chin.
For the ear part, place them in the middle of the comfort cheek pads. To do this, take off the mid-cheek foam, then unclip the cheeks to pass the thread of the headset between the liner and the cheek pads and bring out the headset in the middle of the cheek.
We can then replace the mid-cheek foams or, if we want more space for the ears depending on its morphology, it is possible to completely remove the foams to free space.
