The J1 comes with a push-button quick-release fastener. This fastener
system is easy to use and helps you optimally adjust the chinstrap to
your head each time you put on the helmet.

You adjust the length of the chinstrap by increasing or reducing the
amount of strap pulled through the metal buckle.
Adjust the length of the chinstrap so that it fits firmly but comfortably

Caution:
Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length regularly (see
Section F.2. "Checking the chinstrap").
Opening and closing
Close the chinstrap lock by pushing the metal tongue into the lock so
you hear it engage. Open the chinstrap by pressing the red button of
the quick-release fastener.

Closing only the comfort pad of the chinstrap will not ensure

chinstrap system.
Caution:
Never open the chinstrap while riding.
