In this How-To Series video we're going to walk you through the ins and outs of purchasing an auto racing helmet online. In this video you'll learn how to properly measure your head, the different head (and helmet) shapes, you'll understand what "proper fit" really means, and we'll explain the different certifications and their expiry dates.
Buying a helmet strictly by shopping online can be a hassle and we're here to help make that process easier through expertise and education.

We forgot a bit of information when we made this video, so we're going to pop it in here: Several of us here at CMS wear glasses and we've found the easiest thing to do is purchase a pair specifically for racing (I purchased mine for less than $60 at Zenni.com). As long as the arms are thin wire frame and the lenses aren't tall you should be able to fit glasses into the vast majority of the helmets we sell. I can wear mine even in the Bell RS7 which has a rather narrow eyeport.

if the helmet is on and strap tight should you be able to pull the front of helmet by chin bar to the point that the chin bar moves up and blocks your vision?
