Step 1: Gather Materials
-
A soft measuring tape or a piece of string (if you don’t have a tape).
-
A ruler or a standard measuring tape for length measurement.
-
​
Step 2: Prepare for Measurement
-
Ensure you're wearing your hair in a normal style (not pulled up) as this can affect the size.
-
Stand in front of a mirror for easier measurement.
-
​
Step 3: Measure Head Circumference
-
Position the Tape: Place the measuring tape around the widest part of your head, which is typically just above your eyebrows and around the back of your head.
-
Adjust the Tape: Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. It should sit level on your head, not tilted.
-
Read the Measurement: Take the measurement in centimeters or inches. If you used string, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length with a ruler.​
Step 4: Refer to the Size Chart
-
Consult the manufacturer’s size chart for the specific helmet you’re considering. Different brands may have slightly different sizing.
-
Compare your measurement to the chart to determine your size (S, M, L,).
