Here’s how to go about it.

Choose a full face helmet and not a “decorative” helmet. A “brain bucket” (looks like a soup bowl) or open face helmet will NOT provide the protection you need to keep everything where it should be.

The first step is to measure your head. Even if you think you know what size helmet you need, it’s worthwhile to take the time to double-check. Get someone to help and a small measuring tape. Measure the circumference of your head from about one inch above your eyebrows in front to the point at the back of your head that gives you the largest measurement. Measure several times just to make sure you’ve got it. Now match the measurement with the helmet sizes on the chart provided by producers (check on wb-sites), rounding up to the next largest number if your measurement falls between sizes.

Next, it’s time to try on a few helmets. Don’t worry about colors and graphics yet, our first concern is finding the right fit. Grasp the helmet by the chin straps with the top of the helmet down and the front of the helmet facing you. Balance the helmet with your fingers, and slide your thumbs to the inside surface of the chin straps. Now spread the helmet apart and slip it over your head. You may need to tip it backward or forward a bit to help slip it on. Read the rest of this entry »
