How to Size a Motorcycle Helmet?

Measure your head circumference with a soft tape measure

Wrap the tape around the widest part of your head, about 1 inch above your eyebrows and ears

Record the measurement in inches or centimeters

Compare the measurement to the helmet manufacturer’s size chart

Try on the helmet in the size that matches your measurement

Make sure the helmet sits level on your head and covers your forehead

Check that the helmet feels snug all around without painful pressure points

Confirm that the cheek pads touch your cheeks firmly

Wear the helmet for several minutes to check for comfort

Try to move the helmet side to side and up and down

Make sure the helmet does not rotate easily on your head

Fasten the chin strap and verify a secure fit

Choose a different size if the helmet is too loose or too tight

Recheck fit after the helmet has been worn for a short time

Replace the helmet if it no longer fits properly or has been damaged
