Helmet Fitting Instructions
-
Find Your Size
Measure head circumference above eyebrows and at the back, then consult the helmet size chart for your approximate size.
-
Crown Fitment
Check if the helmet crown matches your head shape. It should fit snugly with equal pressure around your head. Test by pushing the helmet forward; if you can insert more than the tip of your finger between the helmet and your forehead, consider a smaller size. If a smaller size fits your crown but feels tight on your face, explore thinner cheek pads. If uncertain, try helmets without cheek pads for a better fit comparison.
-
Cheek Pads
The fit of cheek pads significantly affects comfort and noise levels. Aim for a snug fit, as pads will adjust over time.
-
Roll Off Test
Assess helmet stability by attempting to roll it forward off your head without the chin strap fastened. A properly fitting helmet should grip the back of your head and resist rolling forward. If it does roll, consider trying a smaller size or a different model.
-
Visual Check
Examine helmet position in the mirror—the brow should rest comfortably just above your brow bone. Lightly move the chin bar side to side; the cheek pads should remain in contact with your face.
