Measuring the head is a starting point for the entire helmet sizing procedure. Due to varying shapes, heads that are apparently the same size when measured by a tape may not necessarily fit the same size helmet. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. Take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one. TRY ON:
If the helmet slides down on the head with no resistance, you have your first indication that it may be too large. Obviously, if it will not slide down over the head at all it is too small. Many people unfamiliar with helmets are reluctant to pull down if they meet resistance as the helmet goes on. Only if the helmet is impossible to put on should you move up to the next size, as helmets that go on snug generally fit very well once all the way on. Remember, most people will select a helmet that is too large for them. The eyes should be approximately in the center of the eye port with the top edge of the liner padding just above the eyebrows. CHECKING HORIZONTAL
AND VERTICAL MOVEMENT:
Next, check movement up
and down, again noting skin movement and resistance. If in either test
there was little or no skin movement, and/or the helmet moved very
easily, the helmet is too large. A properly fitted helmet will cause the
skin to move as the helmet moves. And, it will feel to the wearer as if
evenly distributed pressure is being continuously exerted around the
head. WARNING: This test may be a little uncomfortable, but it is very important! Now, fasten the chin strap, so you can check it. After the strap has been tightly fastened, while holding your head steady, reach over the top of the helmet grabbing the bottom edge with your fingers. Then, try to roll the helmet off your head. If it comes off, it is undoubtedly too large. NOTE: Never buy a helmet that can be rolled off the head with the strap fastened. PRESSURE POINT CHECK:
