4 Steps Guide to Get the Best Helmet FIT





 Step-1 Check The Manufacturer Sizing Chart














You can try the size from size S to XL but it will take longer time. The smarter way is check the size at manufacturer sizing chart. If you size fall between two sizes, take the bigger size. After you got the size, you hereby narrow down the sizing to the size and one size up.

Eg. If you got size M from the sizing chart, you can try size M and L for fitting.

Find out the helmet fit is Long Oval, Intermediate Oval or Round shape head. Normally for Asian is under Round group, you can find the roundness of your head to determine which group are you fall into.



Step-2        Fitting Check-List

 1.  A new helmet should be snug around any part of your head that would be covered by a cap. This area should be about as firm as a tight inner cap, slightly compressed, but not painful or squeezing.

 2.  There should be no pressure points in the cap area where you feel pressure or pinching.

3.  Your cheeks should be tightly compressed. The pressure may feel awkward or slighly uncomfortable but should not be painful. You should not be able to chew gum or speak clearly.

4.  If the helmet causing pain that is focused on your forehead, the helmet shape is too round for you; If the pain is in your temples or side of your head, if you feel pinching in the back of your skull. This helmet is too narrow for you.

5.  If your cheeks are not compressed at all, you need to order thicker cheek pads.

6.  If your cheeks are compressed to the point that you are in pain, remove the cheek pads and squish them under something heavy over several nights. If that did not improve the situation, you need to order thinner cheek pads. 
7. Depend on your riding positions, there should be 1 to 2 finger clearance in between your eyebrow and the helmet top edge.



Step-3          Trying for Longer Time



Test the helmet when you are watching TV or swiping your phone for 30 minutes to detect the pressure points. Normally some pressure points will only appeared when you wear the helmet for longer time.



Step-4          Personal Fitting Service (PFS)



When you are had tried all the above methods and still have gap in between your head and padding, then the Personal Fitting Service (PFS) will come in handy. Some people might have odd shaped head and standard sizing might not fit perfectly. PFS will help in improve grip on centerpad, compression on cheek pads, eliminate pressure points and better vision.
