2. Fasten the chin buckle.
3. Tighten the chin strap so that it is snug under your chin, allowing only one or two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.
4. Ensure the helmet does not move excessively when you shake your head. It should not rock forward, backward, or side-to-side.

3.4 Eyewear Port

The Gamechanger 2.0 MIPS includes an integrated eyewear port for secure storage of your cycling glasses.

• Locate the dedicated slots on the helmet designed to hold eyewear temples.
• Carefully slide the temples of your glasses into these ports for secure storage when not in use.
