How To Measure Head for a Dual Sport Helmet
A properly fitted helmet plays a major role in the outcome of an accident so when choosing a dual sport helmet use the size chart on each product page to determine the size. Read Motorcycle Helmet Size Guide - How To Measure & Fit The Right Helmet. for more information and instructions on measuring your head. Once you determine your head size compare that with the sizing noted on the helmet you wish to buy. Each motorcycle helmet manufacturer has different sizing charts for their helmets compared to other helmets, so you will need to compare your head size to each brand's sizing.
Try it on before using. The helmet should sit squarely on your head with the top of the helmet eye port just above your eyebrows. A properly fitted helmet fits snug at first then loosens slightly as you break it in. If you can move the helmet easily while it is on your head or can fit your fingers easily between your head and the helmet, you will likely need to step down a size. MotoSport offers a free first exchange program so we will gladly get you the right size if the one you order does not fit.
