Searching for the truth behind motorcycle helmet design, helmet standards and actual head protection By Dexter Ford and California Scientific How good is your helmet?

Measuring to Get the Right Size Helmet

General Posts / By

J&P Cycles shows you how to measure to get the right size helmet. For an accurate head measurement, wrap the measuring tape horizontally around your head about 1″ above your eyebrows. Your helmet should fit snugly. Keep the measuring tape comfortably tight in order to achieve the best results. For precise results, measure two or three times. If you get different measurements, take the largest one. If your head measurement falls between two different sizes on the helmet sizing chart, choose the smaller helmet size.     Advertisement
