How to Pick Your Size

Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your head, about one inch above your eyebrows. Match the centimeters to the size chart above. A half helmet should feel snug all around without pressure points. If you land between two sizes, most riders go with the smaller size since the liner breaks in with wear.
