Don’t do it yourself, take your boots into a dealer for them to do it. I work at a ski shop in the UK; the number of people who’ve faffed about with their canting got it completely wrong, and bought them in bitching about it to us is unreal. Canting doesn’t need adjusting unless you’re very knock-kneed or bow-legged; even then, custom footbeds will normally solve the problem if you don’t have any, as the knees can fall out of line due to pronation/supination of the foot.

Have to give you a low rating on this one. All you do is demonstrate how to properly put on a pair of ski boots, which is very elementary, and only absolute beginners can benefit from. This has nothing to do with how to actually fit a newly acquired fresh pair of ski boots. You failed to mention how much toe room one should have in the toe box. How long to wear your ski boots at home or in the store to determine if you have the right fit, how to heat mold and how to adjust canting. No help.

@bucefalo123456789 Thats great. We see soo many people purchase a helmet that doesn’t fit them and they end up returning it. It’s just a hassle for them and if they decide to wear the helmet, it’s soo uncomfortable that they blame it on the helmet or the place they bought it. We would rather see people enjoy the products they get from J&P Cycles. Keep on passing the videos around, we are working on more videos to make riding for the newcomer easier to learn.

DO NOT USE WINDEX. Windex and other cleaners that contain Amonia will cause a foggy dulling of the visor. It will litterally eat into the material. Simple dish soap and warm water will work fine. Other cleaners that don’t contain ammonia will work also. Also, to avoid scratches, use a microfiber cloth, Toilet tissue is still made from wood and will cause micro scratches that become annoying when the sun hits them just right.

Glad we could help, and yes, more snug is better as it will not jossle around on your head that way.

thanks for the great tips!
I have sold my XL for a Large, I would rather it be a little tight than too loose.

Smaller padding would only make a helmet less effective. It would really not be recommended to modify a helmet just to make you look better other than maybe some graphics that are slimming. I would start there. Otherwise you could try some different brands of helmets.

i have a pretty big head, and i dont want to wear a XL cuz i look like E.T lol, im wondering if i could make the padding smaller so my head would fit on a med or a large, do they sell smaller padding for helmets?????

We completely agree with you PSXP1… However, this will at least get you in the right area of the helmets when deciding which one to try on.

CountryboyG,
To our knowledge, there isn’t a way to stretch out your helmet and we wouldn’t recommend doing that anyway. I would go back to where you got the helmet, try on some different helmets and make sure it fits. Notice in the video, we point out different shaped heads. Check your shape and see if the style helmet you bought is for that shape of head.

Great video!!
You should really go into a store and size a helmet before ordering online. Helmets/brands fit differently as they mention in this vide
