Measure around the widest part of your head, just above the eyebrows, and check against the LS2 three-shell size chart — the Explorer runs a long oval shape, so allow for a snug fit that eases slightly as the laser-cut foam beds in.
Remove the cheek pads and crown liner and hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild soap; rinse thoroughly, press out excess water and air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or use a hair dryer.
Clean the outer visor and the internal sun visor with lukewarm water and a mild soap using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid petrol, solvents, ammonia-based glass cleaners and abrasive pads, which will haze the coatings.
If a Pinlock insert is fitted, remove it before cleaning the visor and wipe it only with a damp soft cloth — the anti-fog face is absorbent and is easily damaged by rubbing or chemicals.
Wipe the shell with a damp cloth and mild soap only. Keep fuel, exhaust fumes and solvents away from the shell, and do not paint the helmet or apply adhesives or stickers unless the manufacturer confirms they are safe.
Check the peak fasteners, visor mechanism and micrometric buckle ratchet periodically and re-tighten or clean as needed; a little silicone-safe lubricant on the visor pivots keeps the quick-release action smooth.
Set the peak angle to suit your speed — a lower angle reduces glare off-road, a flatter angle reduces lift and buffeting at highway speeds. Remove the peak entirely for extended touring if wind noise is an issue.
The Emergency Release System cheek pad tabs are for trained first responders only; do not pull them as a routine way to remove the helmet.
After riding in rain, let the helmet dry naturally with the liner in place and vents open; do not store it damp or in a sealed bag.
Store in the supplied bag in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and never hang the helmet on a mirror or bar end where the liner and EPS can be crushed.
Replace the helmet after any significant impact, even if there is no visible damage, and always fasten the chin strap correctly before riding.
