The retention system consists of polyaramid/cotton fabric onto which the chinstrap is sewn and the headset
housings are mounted. The basic pattern includes a nape strap with hook and pile fastener tapes at the seams
that allow the headset ear-to-ear cord to be enclosed within the nape strap. The system is attached to the
helmet shell on the right and left rear, and the faceguard adjustment struts on front using two screws. Each
nylon tape attachment loop has 3 eyelets through which the system can be attached to achieve the optimum fit.
The chinstrap includes two adjustment buckles and a snap fastener at one side.
