STEP-BY-STEP RACING & KARTING HELMET SIZING GUIDE

Measuring your head accurately is the first step towards finding the perfect helmet. Here, we provide a step-by-step guide to help you measure your helmet size effectively.

 

Accurate Head Measurement Techniques

  1. Use a flexible tape measure: Wrap it around your head approximately one inch above your eyebrows and ears, reaching the widest part of your head at the back.
  2. Ensure even pressure: The tape should be snug but not tight, ensuring accurate measurement without compressing your scalp.
  3. Take multiple readings: Measure at least three times to ensure consistency, using the largest measurement for determining your size.
  4. Consider additional wear: If you wear accessories like a balaclava or head sock, ensure you wear them during measurement for an accurate fit.

These steps ensure you accurately measure your head, providing a reliable starting point for helmet selection.

Tools for Measuring Helmet Size

  • Accurate measurement tools are essential for determining the correct helmet size. Flexible tape measures are ideal due to their ability to wrap smoothly around the head's contours.
    • Alternatively, a piece of string can be used in place of a tape measure by marking and measuring against a ruler afterward. This method is particularly useful if a flexible tape measure is not available.
  • Digital calipers can provide highly accurate measurements and are used by professionals for precise fitting.
    • Ultimately, the choice of tools depends on personal preference and availability. However, ensuring accuracy is paramount in every method to achieve a proper fit.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Never order your helmet based on your last helmet size—especially if it’s a different brand. Helmet sizing can vary. Always remeasure your head before buying.
