This helmet provides a standard depth fit for a standard oval head shape. We also provide this helmet as a round fit in sizes 56cm-59cm.
It's really important you measure your head properly to ensure the correct size. We cannot guarantee that you will be the same size as you are in another helmet.
Use a soft fabric measuring tape marked in centimetres (cm).
Wrap the tape around the widest part of your head: about one inch above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.
Follow our fitting guide if you are unsure of your helmet fit and head shape.
Contact our friendly customer services team with any queries.
Helmets should be stored at ambient temperature out of direct sunlight. Never leave your hat in a hot car or in direct sunlight. This helmet is designed to absorb some for the energy of a blow by partial destruction of the shell or protective padding material or both.
This damage may not be visible and therefore any helmet which suffers an impact should be discarded and replaced by a new one.
Keeping a riding helmet fresh through regular cleaning will prevent odours and mould developing inside the headband and ultimately prolong the life of your helmet. It is really important to use cleaning products that are specially formulated for use inside a riding helmet. This helmet should not be dry cleaned, exposed to solvents, or put in the washing machine/dishwasher.
Make no modifications to the helmet.
