New rider here. This video saved me from buying a helmet that was far to big for my long oval head. I wound up with a Arai Signet-X. I needed to buy local because I needed to try more than one size. I'll buy the next one from you. Thank you so much.

Hi friend, for a little over a month I have become a follower of your channel and an active buyer of your store, despite living far away from the US, I am from Chile and my main language is Spanish .... I appreciate a lot of the time you spend teaching your knowledge on a KZbin channel. Thank you for putting subtitles in Spanish, as it makes it even easier for me to understand what you want to communicate, may God bless you and your store ..... A hug from a distance ...

[@planetwally]

good video - i have a triangle sized head, so some intermediate oval helmets fit me large and others fit me in medium, even though my head is 57.5 cm ... it's frustrating because most helmets i like and want dont fit right

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you know you have an odd shaped head you really need to go to a shop and try the helmet on before you buy it. - Van

[@planetwally]

@@sportbiketrackgear Thx Van - i've done exactly that, but most the helmets I wanted to buy that I had opportunity to try on ended up having pressure points for me, and the one or two that actually fit nice in a medium were 700+$ Arai helmets...

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

@@planetwally DUUUUUUDE IM IN THE SAME EFFING PREDICAMENT RIGHT NOW. its not cool. i jsut started riding and ive spent allll summer trying to get a helmet that fits proper. has yet to happen. honestly the Arai's dont even fit that well. im looking into having a seamstress customize my cheek pads so i can get an Airflite...or keep my LS2 Challenger. womp womp womp. i just wanna squeeze my head a little bit lol. Did you end up finding one that fit?

[@deborahmusgrove5937]

Thank you for this info. I just purchased a helmet online. My previous helmet was a size large. I was at a HD Dealer and purchased this through their recommendation. The new helmet I just purchased, I followed the measurement recommendations. According to size chart I wear a small. Putting the helmet on I thought omg this is tight. After watching several videos, the helmet I measured is the correct size. I found my old helmet, it was only a half helmet, but even with the chin strap tight , it had way too much movement. Thank you, your demonstration was perfect! Maybe you should go to HD in my neighborhood and educate them on appropriate helmet fit!!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome, happy to help out. Proper fit from your helmet is the key to performance while riding and safety if you fall down. If it is too big as in your case it is not going to help as much as it could. - Van

[@kaiobikeg8749]

I’ve been riding with my medium helmet and today I went to cycle gear to try on a shoei rf 1200 before I order the one I want with certain graphic. I put the medium on while the worker was talking to me and he immediately says it’s a bit too big I should go size lower. I was like, “really”? He said yea and began explaining most of what you said here to me. I was actually surprised because I thought my current helmet was a good fit but I tried on a shoei rf 1200 size small and I IMMEDIATELY understood my problem. Tomorrow I’m going back to that cycle gear and ordering the shoei I want with the graphic I like just to give that guy my business for actually taking the time to teach me that. So appreciative of it. And great video too btw.

[@Mr.M1STER]

You just cannot beat the feeling of walking into a store and trying on helmets. More than likely there will be an employee at the store that can advise you on certain and for me money can't buy that. I always buy my gear in a store when I try it on and get some advice and am happy with it. Going online to save a couple bucks is just not worth it in my opinion to get a helmet you are not fully happy with.

[@KTMNomad]

Probably one of the better helmet fit videos on KZbin. Needed a reminder on the crown measurement today. Where sizing gets tricky is when you fall in the middle and that's where being in the dealership is worth it. I tend to lean towards going a size down then going up. Most helmets give 10-20% brake in so it will loosen up a little. Ole Boy is jacked, good to see someone take pride self fitness and their trade. Suns out, Guns out. :-)

This is the best helmet sizing guide I've seen! Very informative! It almost made me return my Nexx XD1 helmet thinking it was too tight, when in reality it fits just perfect and I'm not used to having snug fitting helmets! The Nexx XD1 fits my head in exactly every aspect you mentioned including not being able to stick fingers into the forehead area. I always thought that it was too tight, but once it's on the head, it's super comfortable. Getting the helmet off and on is quite an effort though :D Excellent video covering every aspect!

[@goru426]

+Patrick Elliott Great to hear! We just want to make it easy for our customers to shop with us.

[@trevornelmes9331]

That was a great video. Shame I live thousands of miles away, or I would have been on my way to you already. Measuring my head I found I was either 2XL or 3XL, right on that boundary, and intermediate, if slightly narrower, oval. Most shops and importers in the UK only stock to XL :-(. A year ago, I eventually found a HJC stockist with 2XL to 4XL. 2XL was painfully tight on the side to side and forehead. The 3XL I thought was fine. Bought it. Now, one year later, it is as loose as heck. This time I went much further, to a bigger store, like yours, but even they did not stock 3XL. I tried what seemed like hundreds on. Most I could not even pull on to my head! I was there for almost an entire day. They were not even willing to get a 3XL of any brand in for me to try, so I went direct and visited the importers (those who would let me in). In the UK many are within a few miles of each other and maybe an hour to drive to. I found just one that fitted me. The tech guy told me which model was in my price bracket (the choice was polycarbonate or carbon, and the carbon was too high). He told me that all their helmets tended to be on the small side, so as I was 2XL, we tried the 3XL. They had just a few in stock in solid matt black. It fitted as though someone had actually taken a mold of my head. Not easy to get on, but not hard, and certainly not loose. No pressure points, but the cheek pads push a little. My local dealer, Moto Central got them to ship the helmet to them. We went through the fitting process, and then the sales guy cut me a deal for cash. About US$50 off the price. So, I have a 3XL Scorpion Exo 510 Air for just $140 plus tax. Now I have to ride this one in. wish me luck.

[@anilsonjrc]

the best video about this topic. congratulations

[@SlingingLead]

Great video. When donning / doffing my helmet it feels like it's going to rip my ears clean off my head. But when it's finally on it feels snug but comfortable in all the right places. I guess if I wanted to just look cool I would wear a cereal bowl with a chinstrap.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You're welcome.

[@fruityMangoExperience]

do the "roll off test" to the back as well because you wanna see whether the helmet is matching your neck because if it isn't it will be easy to lift the helmet off by pulling the chin part up. In fact the same problem as with the shown "rolling test" applies. And pay attention because the helmet might feel like it perfectly matches but it doesn't when you can lift it off somehow.

You should never change the size of the helmet to accommodate glasses or a com unit. In our most recent helmet reviews we have started covering the fitment of glasses in each model to give you all an idea of how well the helmet works with glasses. - Van

I’m a 56.5 cm. According to sizing charts it’s in between a small and medium. Would a small be a little to tight and could cause problems and a medium be a tad to loose? I’ve always had a problem buying hats that are fitted smalls are to tight while mediums are to loose but a s/m is perfect.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would start with the small and evaluate the fit before riding in it. Personally I prefer the fit to be on the tight side as long as it does not have any hot spots. - Van

For a future topic, how about discussing (1.) the best "design" helmet for your riding style... for example: a helmet designed for the aggressive, tucked-in style for high speed riding vs. the straight-up style of riding a cruiser bike. (2.) Also, maybe share what kind of riding helmet with a visor is appropriate vs. a helmet without a visor, vs. a modular helmet. (3.) And lastly, maybe the pros and cons of the half helmet, vs. the 3/4 helmet, vs. the full helmet, vs. the modular helmet. In my experience, the wrong helmet design can contribute to uncomfortable buffeting, excessive wind noise (that can damage hearing), and the sensation that a helmet is being pulled upward by air flow from being seated at the wrong angle for that particular design. I've learned (by expensive trial and error) that the best helmet I can wear riding a sport bike in a crouched-forward position is NOT the same helmet I should wear when seated straight-up on a cruiser. Thanks for your consideration.

[@joedoe7506]

for proper fitting, do you have any spae between helmet and the back of the neck? i can't find evyone talking about this topic. thanks!

The most important thing is the helmet fits properly. You should never go up a size in a helmet to get your glasses to fit. A poor fitting helmet can not protect you properly in the event of a crash. - Van

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Being able to touch the front of the chin bar like that is not uncommon at all. We are all shaped a little different and so are the helmets. If you have tried on several models odds are you already know each of them will offer a different fit in that area. - Van

If you are getting a good fit for the helmet there is no reason to replace it. Not sure what brand or model you have but can say some do run a little to the big side. For that reason it is quite possible the medium can get you a good fit at 59cm. - Van

Hey Van, I'm taking my MSF course in May 2021 and am buying gear now to make sure I have enough time to get used to them and feel comfortable. Your video reviews have helped out a lot so thanks. I do have a question regarding which helped to buy. I'm considering getting either the Scorpion EXO R420 or the Bell SRT Cousteau helmet. I measured my head right above my eye and above my ears and I am 23.1inches and I wear glasses. Both helmets are around $160 and Snell 2015 rated Which helmet would you recommend and what size? I think a Large would be good for the Scorpion and an XL for the SRT. Thanks for all the help

If the helmet fits properly the gap from the chin bar to your face is what it is. Not sure I have ever seen one that I would label too big. Over the years I have had some helmets where my nose would be very close to the top of the chin bar. What is the make and model of the helmet you have? - Van

@@sportbiketrackgear an ILM 313. Size XL. I'm returning it to exchange for a L. I can't slide my fingers through the top of the helmet near the forehead area since I have a big forehead. It does roll forward though but not much. I'm between 57 and 58cm.

Hi, if I press on the chin part towards my face the helmet ends up making contact with my mouth, does that mean it’s too big?

Not necessarily, a properly sized helmet can typically be pushed into your chin. Really depends on how close it is to begin with. Also make sure you have it strapped properly. - Van

How about to start with right size shirts?
