Helmet Selection Tips:

- Get a size that fits! Use a chart like the following one to help guide your helmet selection. Measure your head at the largest point which is the point above your eyebrows. Check it a couple of times to make sure you have received your largest measurement. If you are between sizes, contact the manufacture of the helmet you are looking at for more guidance.
