How do I measure my head for a helmet before ordering?

Choosing the right helmet size is crucial for both safety and comfort. Follow these steps to measure your head accurately:

What you need:

  • A flexible tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.

  • A mirror (optional, but helpful).

Step-by-step guide:

1. Position the tape measure: Wrap the tape measure around the circumference of your head, about 1 cm above your eyebrows. Ensure it is level and straight all the way around. If using a string, wrap it around your head, mark where it meets, and measure the length with a ruler.

2. Check the fit: The tape measure should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. It should feel secure without causing pressure.

3. Record your measurement: Write down your head size. Use this measurement to determine your correct helmet size.

4. Consider your head shape:

  • Oval head shape: Longer front-to-back than side-to-side.

  • Round head shape: Equal front-to-back and side-to-side proportions.
