Choosing the right helmet size is essential for your safety and comfort while cycling. This guide will help you find the perfect helmet size tailored to your needs. Helmets come with different fitting characteristics, so understanding how to measure your head correctly and select the right size is key to ensuring optimal protection and comfort.
What You Need:
- Flexible Tape Measure, String or Ruler
- Mirror (optional but helpful)
How to Measure Your Head
-
Position the Tape Measure:
Place the tape measure around the circumference of your head, about 1 cm above your eyebrows, ensuring it is level and straight around your head. If using a string, wrap it around your head, mark the point where it meets, and measure the length with a ruler. -
Check the Fit:
The tape measure should be snug but not too tight. It should feel secure without causing discomfort. -
Record Your Measurement:
Write down your head measurement. This will be used to determine your helmet size.
Consider Your Head Shape
- Oval Head Shape: Longer front-to-back than side-to-side.
- Round Head Shape: Almost equal front-to-back and side-to-side.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size:
- If your measurement falls between two sizes, decide whether you prefer a tight or slightly looser fit.
- Ensure the helmet sits level on your head, not tilted back, and rests just above your eyebrows.
- Use any available adjustable features (like straps and dials) to fine-tune the fit for comfort and security.
