Safety Gear Size Guide

Helmets are the most important piece of safety equipment you can wear while riding. Injuries sustained from a stack without a helmet can not only cause downtime from riding but also negatively impact your day-to-day life. With that being said, finding the correct helmet for you is key to achieving safety, comfort, and the right look.

How to Measure for a Helmet

Start by taking a measurement of your head. Use a measuring tape to measure around the largest part of your head from your forehead (refer to the image below). Once you have your measurement, consult the size chart below to see which size will fit you best.

Sizing Tips

  • Helmet Fit: Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows. The helmet should fit snugly without causing discomfort.
  • Knee Pad Fit: Measure around the knee at its widest point. Pads should be snug to stay in place but not so tight as to restrict movement.
  • Adjustability: Many products come with adjustable straps or multiple padding options to fine-tune the fit.
  • Growth Consideration: For children, consider gear with adjustable features to accommodate growth.
