C. THE HELMET
VENTILATION SYSTEM 4 – HEAD VENTILATION
There is a large air inlet cowl with a three-
stage adjustable ventilation system on the
top of the helmet shell for ventilating the top
of your head. Air entering the helmet through
this inlet cowl is directed via channels to the
top of the head. Inside the helmet, the head
padding system enables direct contact between
incoming air and the surface of the head,
thereby conducting the heat away from the
inside of the helmet quickly. To regulate
ventilation, the air inlet cowl is easily operated while
wearing gloves. Push the air inlet cowl back to the
first latch position for partial ventilation. To open the
inlet fully, push the air inlet cowl further back.
SUMMER AND WINTER ADJUSTMENT FLAPS
The ventilation of the S3 can also be adjusted to suit the seasons, weather
conditions or your personal preferences. While you will prefer the cooling air
current to flow directly on to your head in summer in autumn/winter you can
reduce the volume of incoming cold air, or divert it, by covering the ventilation
channels with the flaps of the head pad. To do so, raise the head pad and fold
out the fabric flaps located behind the front section.
