WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT HELMET FITMENT AND SIZING!

Description:

You might be thinking, “why does it matter?” Well, all helmets are manufactured to specific measurements for consistency. But everybody’s head is different. Someone with a long oval will not fit comfortably into a helmet built with a round shape. They might get “Hot Spots” (pressure points) on the front and back of their head, while leaving a gap on the sides. And take someone who’s got a round head shape and put them in a helmet designed for a long oval, their “Hot Spots” will be on the sides of their head, with space in the front and back. So, getting an accurate measurement and knowing your head shape will help you identify if a helmet can be a good fit, but it this doesn’t address how the second-most question we get asked: How should a motorcycle helmet fit? First things first. Put it on. Good. So, how’s it feel? Your head should contact the top of the helmet interior. Next up, the helmet’s comfort lining should fit snugly around your head. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT HELMET FITMENT AND SIZING!
2
When it comes to buying a motorcycle helmet,
first and foremost recognize that its just
about the most technically complex piece of gear
you can buy other than the bike itself.
Because its key to keeping your head safe and
mandated in practically every state, getting the
right one requires some serious thought.
3
Well, there are lots of places to go thatll tell
you how to measure your head for helmet size.
Heck, some will say just wrap a tape measure
around your skull, look at a size chart, and
there you go. WOW! That was easy. Nope.

Round or Round Oval This head shapes almost the
same measurement front to back as side to side.
Think about looking down on a basketball, or
soccer ball sitting on the ground.
Intermediate Oval This head shapes slightly
longer front to back than it is side to side.
Easiest way to think about this is shape is
picturing an egg.
Long Oval This head shapes much longer front to
back than side to side. Now were talking
football or axe head.

To test the fit use this process
Put the helmet on. Does the helmet top pad press
firmly onto your head? Do the cheek pads contact
your cheeks? Open the visor and try to insert
your fingers between your head and the helmet
above the brow. Check your field of vision by
looking left, right, up, and down. Hold your head
still and grasp the side of the helmet. Try
rotating the helmet side to side and back to
forward. If you can feel the padding sliding on
your head, it is too big. Fasten the retention
system (chin strap) as snugly as possible without
causing pain. Put your hands on the back of the
helmet and try to get the helmet off by rotating
it forward. Repeat until you find the right
helmet size for you.

Congratulations, youre now ready to find the
BEST fitting helmet for you.
