Evaluate size while wearing the typical, everyday headwear, hairstyle, head coverings, etc., worn with helmet. 60 60 50 4 30 20 60 50 4 30 20 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Using a measuring tape at approximately ½" above eyebrows and ears, measure head CIRCUMFERENCE. 8 In the absence of a caliper, use 2 pencils. Hold one pencil between eyebrows and one at the back of head. An extra set of hands is important to ensure pencils are straight. Measure distance between pencils this is the LENGTH measurement. In the absence of a caliper, use 2 pencils. Hold one pencil at either side of head above ears. An extra set of hands is important to ensure pencils are straight. Measure distance between pencils this is the WIDTH measurement. FIT & CUSTOMIZATION SIZING - HELMET · Head circumference is the best predictor of helmet size start there and refine using length and width measurements as needed. · Be sure to also evaluate fit with additional equipment (headset, cold weather gear, eye protection, etc.) as these will all affect the amount of space needed in helmet. · With use, liners get worn in and compressed or stretched, and helmet may feel larger so make sure to have snug fit when trying on with new liner system.
