Andre5111 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Hi Hubbers. I'm in the market for a DH helmet to go with my more reckless riding of my new(ish) Trance 5" trail bike, but local bike shops are low on stock / brands and I think I'll need to buy online. How does one measure your head, and what constitutes a Small, Medium or Giant Head? Any advice would be great! Shot, A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Keep Pedaling Posted August 29, 2013 Share It is not so hard. A in maths - giant head Maths on standard grade - medium head You ride a mountain bike down a hill so fast you need a face helmet - small head. Mads and Andre5111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Measure around the widest part of the head. Normally about 1" above the eyebrows. This should give you a good idea of size. Most helmet manufacturers will also tell you how to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted August 31, 2013 Share Try to try a mate's helmet first. It can be a very expensive mistake buying a lid online if it doesn't fit your scone. It's not only size .it's also shape. I had a D3. Pretty much the best helmet money can buy but it just never felt right on my head. Oh and there's a 20% duty on helmets if bought from a crc or what ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted September 1, 2013 Share Wouldn't personally buy a full face without trying it on first, all have a different fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Latent Blue Posted September 1, 2013 Share Here's a thought... Why not try one on? Edited September 1, 2013 by Latent Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
