How to Fit a Helmet
There are several things to keep in mind when fitting a helmet:
Above all, you want to make sure that you have a good fit. A helmet does not fully protect you if it is too loose or too tight. You want to make sure it fits snug but is still comfortable. It should not move from side to side when you shake your head. There shouldn’t be any gaps inside the helmet- it should fit evenly across your forehead and sides of your head.
We highly suggest you come into the store and try on the helmet you intend to buy. Wear it for a while to make sure it fits well and don’t be afraid to keep it on for an extended period of time. We carry hundreds of helmets in stock and can order anything you want. We carry full face, half shell, novelty, DOT, and everything in between.
If you still have questions about fitting a helmet, watch this video by Basem Wasef at About.com, or come in to the store and let us show you in person. Our apparel staff can help you choose the right helmet in no time.
