Measurement
Proper helmet fit is a vital component to the performance of a helmet should an impact take place. In order to perform properly a helmet should not fit too tight or too loose, but in a snug manner. Naturally, it should be secured to your head with the neck or chin strap and be adjusted to the prpoer manner of tightness, but still being comfortable.
IMPORTANT: Here is the correct way to take the proper measurement. Using a cloth measuring tape, place it 1" above the eyebrows surrounding the circumference of the head. Holding the front secure at the eyebrows, the person taking the measurements should move the tape measure up and down in a SNUG manner to get the correct reading. NO NOT tryusing a metal tape measure or string to take any measurements. This is totally incorrect manner to get a proper and safe fit. We would suggest you take the measurement twice just to double check so you are sure your measurements are correct.
NOTE: If you are stepping up in quality to a Bell Helmet, never use your old helmet sizing. Brands do not at all fit alike, so new measurements are essential. Please remember, if you find yourself in between sizes, you can not wear a helmet that is too small. Slightly big is better.
