When buying a motorcycle helmet, follow these suggestions:

First, determine your size. Measuring your head is the starting point for the entire sizing process. You may use a small metal tape measure or use a cloth measuring tape. The circumference of the head needs to be measured from the front of the forehead about 1 inch above your eye line and around to the largest point of the back of your head. Do this several times to get the largest possible measurement. This will give you your size in inches or millimeters. Take this number and refer to our helmet size chart at the end of each helmet listing and as listed above. If your head measurement is between sizes, always go to the next size up listed on the chart. This will almost always guarantee a proper fitting helmet even when ordered online.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most people buy their helmets too big because they don't understand that a new helmet needs to fit comfortably snug and will break in like a pair of new shoes do. A snug fit is generally a good fit for a new helmet. Most helmets are very well padded and the pads once worn will conform to the user's cheeks and head after a few good uses. Ideally, a good fit is one where the helmet goes on with a little resistance, fits comfortably snug and especially snug on the cheek area. If your helmet feels good on the top of your head with no pressure on the forehead and kind of tight or snug around the cheek area, generally, this is what you are looking for in a good fit. Snug cheek pads keep the wind noise down when riding which protects your hearing and it also prevents the helmet from falling down over your eyes as the cheek pads provide resistance to hold the weight of the helmet up.

Remember, helmet charts and guides are just that, a guide to helping you get the best fit the first time. Sometimes due to head shapes and other issues, you may not get it right the first time.
