Helmet Size Chart (for various types of helmets)

A Helmet Size Chart is essential for ensuring a proper fit when selecting a helmet for various activities, whether it’s for biking, motorcycling, skateboarding, or sports like football or skiing. A properly fitting helmet is crucial for safety and comfort. Below is a detailed explanation and interactive tool suggestion for selecting the correct helmet size based on head circumference.

How to Measure Your Head for Helmet Size:

1. Use a Flexible Measuring Tape:
   • Take a soft measuring tape (like the one used for sewing) and measure around the circumference of your head.
   • Place the tape about 1 inch above your eyebrows, wrapping it all the way around your head, going over the most prominent part of the back of your head.
2. Record the Measurement:
   • After you measure your head, ensure the tape is snug but not tight. It should be a comfortable fit.
   • Check the measurement and compare it to the chart above to determine your helmet size.
3. Fit Check:
   • Once you select a helmet size, try it on. It should feel snug but not uncomfortable.
   • A well-fitting helmet should not move around or shift when you shake your head. It should sit level on your head, with the front of the helmet just above your eyebrows.

Specialized Helmets:

Some helmets, such as motorcycle helmets, skate helmets, football helmets, or skiing/snowboarding helmets, may have specific size charts, but the measurement process remains similar. Always check the manufacturer’s sizing chart for the best fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my head for a helmet?

Wrap a soft measuring tape around your head about 1 inch above your eyebrows, passing over the most prominent part of the back of your head. Keep the tape snug but not tight, then compare the measurement to the helmet size chart to find your size.

What helmet size is a 20.5 inch head?

Using this size tool, a head circumference of 20.5 inches gives a helmet size of M. For any other measurement, enter your head circumference into the tool. Always try the helmet on afterward to make sure it sits level and doesn't shift.

How should a helmet fit?

A helmet should feel snug but not uncomfortable. It should not move or shift when you shake your head, and it should sit level with the front just above your eyebrows. If it moves around, try a smaller size or recheck your measurement.

Do motorcycle and ski helmets use the same sizing?

The measuring process is similar, but motorcycle, skate, football, and ski or snowboard helmets may have their own size charts. Measure your head circumference the same way, then always check the manufacturer's sizing chart for the specific helmet you're buying.
