4. Check for any pressure points that could become uncomfortable during extended wear.

4.1 Funzionamento della visiera

The N90-3 features an ultrawide visor made of Lexan with a scratch-resistant coating. It provides a wide field of vision. The visor can be opened and closed manually. The helmet is also equipped with a Pinlock system, which helps prevent fogging. Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly installed for optimal anti-fog performance.

4.2 VPS Sun Visor

The VPS (Vision Protection System) sun visor is dark tinted, made of Lexan, and features UV 400 protection, scratch-resistant, and anti-fog coatings. It can be adjusted to various positions using the slider mechanism located on the left side of the helmet. Lower the sun visor for protection from glare and raise it when not needed.

The N90-3 features an exclusive dual-action chin guard opening mechanism. To open the chin guard, simultaneously press the two release buttons located at the center of the chin guard. This dual-action system minimizes the risk of accidental opening. To close, simply push the chin guard down until it securely latches into place.

The AirBooster Technology ensures optimal ventilation within the helmet. It includes:

• Ventilazione superiore: Adjustable vents on the top of the helmet allow air intake.

Adjust these vents as needed to maintain comfort and prevent fogging.
