Helmet size guide

A helmet should feel snug all round with even pressure, here's how to find yours.

Measuring tape around the head, 2 cm above the eyebrows
  1. 01Use a soft tape

    A tailor's tape works best. A string and ruler is fine too.

  2. 02Go 2 cm above brows

    Wrap around the widest part of your head, above ears and eyebrows.

  3. 03Measure twice

    Take the largest reading and match it to the chart.

The fit test

  • Cheek pads touch your cheeks firmly.
  • No gap between brow pad and forehead.
  • Shaking your head, the helmet moves your skin, not just slides.
  • Wear it 10–15 minutes indoors; no hot spots.
