Getting Started & Setup
Helmet Fit Guide
A correct helmet fit is crucial for both comfort and safety. Sena helmets are designed to fit an intermediate oval head shape, which is longer front-to-back and narrower side-to-side, common in the US market.
- Measure Your Head: Use a soft measuring tape. Wrap it around the widest part of your head, approximately one inch above your eyebrows and around the back, just above your ears. Keep the tape snug but not tight. For accuracy, it is recommended to have a friend assist with this measurement.
- Consult the Size Chart: Refer to the size chart below to find the corresponding helmet size for your head measurement.
- Try On the Helmet: Once you receive your helmet, wear it for 30 minutes to an hour before riding. Ensure it fits snugly around the crown of your head without any uncomfortable pressure points. For full-face helmets, the cheek pads should fit tightly, causing a slight 'chipmunk cheek' effect. If it remains comfortable after this period, you have found the perfect fit.
