Tips for Choosing the Right Helmet in 2020

There’s no denying riding a powersports vehicle is dangerous.

Whether you’re a brand new rider or you have thousands of miles under your belt, wearing a motorcycle helmet that fits you perfectly is the most important thing you should do to reduce your risk of injury and death.

To help you find the right helmet, our product specialists put together a few simple tips to follow.

Taking Your Measurement

Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of your head right above your eyebrows – the biggest part of your head.

Find Your Size

With your measurement in mind, you can now look for helmets that fit you. Different brands and retailers may label your size differently, so keep an eye out for sizing guidelines or conversion charts.

Try Your Helmet on In-Person

You might find the right size online, but there’s no telling whether it feels comfortable wearing it. Additionally, it may be worth to try on multiple sizes near your measurement to see which helmet strikes the ideal balance of a snug fit without painfully squeezing your head.

Wear It Around The Store to Check That Your Helmet Fits Right

The right helmet should fit squarely on your head, without tilting in any direction. Cheek pads should touch your cheeks and the top of the helmet’s eye port should rest just above your eyebrows. If it’s uncomfortable wearing it for a few minutes around the store, imagine how uncomfortable it will be after wearing it for an extended ride.
