Fitting Chart   |   Bicycle vs. Multi-Sport Helmets   |   Getting the Perfect Fit

What ages do the helmet sizes fit?

None and all!!.. Helmets fit heads which are measured in inches/cm.  Some small kids have large heads and some large people wear small or medium.  Our sizing chart is:

What is the difference between bicycle helmets and multi-sport helmets
(Skate-Scooter helmets)?

ALL bicycle helmets are only good for one impact.  Doesn't matter how much you paid!!.. One crash and the helmet needs to be replaced.  Our multi-sport helmets are for skateboard, inline skate, and scooter useage and are of a different design and construction.  The outer shell is ABS plastic like football and hockey helmets.  Hard so it spreads the impact.  These are the best multi-impact helmets on the market.

Getting the perfect fit from your new helmet:

Step1

Size: Measure your head for approximate size.  Try the helmet on to ensure it fits your head comfortably without rocking to side.  Sizing pads can be used to adjust the fit to different head shapes.  Mix or match sizing pads for the best fit.

Step 2

Position: The helmet should sit level on the head so that the forehead is covered down to just above the eyebrow.

Step 3

Buckles: Center the left buckle under the chin.  On most helmets, the straps can be pulled from the back of the helmet to lengthen or shorten the chin straps.  This task is easier if you take the helmet off to make the adjustments.

Step 4

Side straps: Adjust the slider on both straps to form a "V" shape under, and slightly in front of, the ears.

Step 5

Chin strap: Roll the rubber band towards the slider.  Buckle up! Starting loose, while holding the buckle, pull the strap tight.  No more than one finger should fit under the strap.

Step 6

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP.  Does your helmet fit right? Open mouth wide... Big Yawn! The helmet should pull down on the head! If not, tighten the chin strap.  Does your helmet rock back more than two fingers above the eyebrows? If so, unbuckle, shorten the front strap by moving the slider forward.  Buckle, retighten the chin strap, and test again! Does your helmet rock forward into your eyes? If so, unbuckle, tighten the back strap by moving the slider back toward the ear.  Buckle, retighten the chin strap, and test again.

Step 7

Roll the rubber band down to the buckle.  All four straps must go through the rubber band and be close to the buckle to prevent the buckle from slipping.
