Determine Motorcycle Helmet Size
1. Fit cloth tape measure snugly around widest
part of head approximately 1" above the eyebrow, just above
the ears and at the point on the back of your head that will give
you the largest measurement for your motorcycle helmet size (see
illustration).
2. Find your head size in the correct chart
above, then order the corresponding helmet size per the motorcycle
helmet product sizing.
3. Safety dictates that if your head size
falls between two of the motorcycle helmet head size ranges listed,
order the smaller motorcyle helmet size as a motorcycle helmet must
fit snugly.
*If
you don't have a tape measure, you can use a piece of string.
Wrap the string around your forehead about where you want the helmet
liner to rest. Then use a ruler or yard stick to measure the
string!

Motorcycle Helmet Sizing Tips
Your motorcycle helmet fit is critical to the comfort and enjoyment
of your helmet. It also plays a critical role in the performance
of your helmet in the event of a collision.
Never or wear a motorcycle helmet without making sure you have a
proper snug fit (not too tight, and not too loose - just right!)
There are several methods and tricks to size a motorcycle helmet.
We recommends the following method:
1. Estimate your size: Get a tape measure and our
sizing chart. Start with a M motorcycle helmet size you think will
fit according to our measurements cross referenced to the chart.
2. Not too tight: Once you have your new motorcycle
helmet in hand, put the helmet on by grasping the chin strap in
each hand and pulling it on over your ears until you feel the top
portion of the motorcycle helmet touch. Check for the following
red flags: A. The motorcycle helmet immediately feels too tight.
B. Your head does not touch the top of the motorcycle helmet. C.
You can't pull the helmet down over your ears. D. It's painful in
any way. If any of these apply, you probably need the next size
larger.
3. Not too loose: Once you have found a motorcycle
helmet that feels comfortable and snug, you must make sure that
it is not too loose. To do this, securely fasten the chin strap,
grasp the helmet chin bar or sides firmly with one hand and try
to move the helmet from side to side and up and down. If the motorcycle
helmet slides on your skin and hair, it is too large. If your scalp
and skin want to move with the helmet, the fit is about right.
4. Just Right: One final check. Reach back to the
back of the motorycle helmet and try to rotate the helmet as far
down and forward as possible. Then as far backward as possible.
If the motorcycle helmet feels as if it might slide off in either
rection, the motorcycle helmet is either too big or the chin strap
was not securely fastened.
Congratulations! If you passed these tests, you now have a properly
fitting helmet that will maximize safety and minimize wind noise
as well!
