How to Properly Attach a Chin Strap on Your Football Helmet

How to Put On a Chin Strap

Attaching a helmet strap is a six-step process. Follow these steps to make sure it is done correctly.

  1. Buckle the top-most strap on each side of the helmet to the button on each corresponding earhole. This will remain inside the helmet.
  2. Put the helmet on your head and put the chin strap cup firmly under your chin.
  3. Buckle the bottom straps on both sides to the buttons behind or below each earhole.
  4. Tighten the chin strap if necessary. The chin strap cup should be firm against the chin to keep the helmet in place.
  5. Make adjustments by pulling on the straps to tighten the helmet. You may need to take the helmet off to make adjustments if you’re fitting it for the first time.
  6. Unbuckle the helmet, leaving the top straps in place once you’ve got the right fit. You’ll now be able to put the helmet on and take it off regularly only adjusting the chin strap.

A proper fit for a helmet is essential especially when outfitting children and teenagers, so make sure you take the appropriate amount of time when starting the process. It can take a few minutes with a new helmet, but it’s well worth the effort.
