Your perfect fit: It is important to properly fit your helmet. Not every helmet is ideal for every head size or shape. This guide will help you find a comfortable fit.

Step-by-step guide to getting the right fit:

• Wear your hair in the style you wear when riding. Wearing your hair up can change the shape of a helmet that fits you best. If you wear different hair styles, you may need separate schooling and show helmets. (If you usually wear a headband or ear warmer, bring those along, too.)
• Put each helmet on without fastening the chin strap. It should feel snug, but not too tight.
• Check a mirror: The helmet should look level on head, parallel to ground, with the visor just above the crease of your eyebrow.
• Bend over and see if it slips or slides. Then try moving it gently up and down, front to back, and side to side. If it slides around, you may need a smaller size, or a different style.
• Shake your head. If there’s no motion, that’s a good sign that it fits.
• Buckle the retention system. The chin strap should fit snugly.
• Wear it around the store. If it gives you a headache, it’s too tight. It should become less noticeable and more comfortable as you wear it.

Keep it fitting well:

• The most common mistake in fitting helmets is not keeping the chin strap snug. Adjust your retention system’s webbing and buckle for every ride. Troxel helmets are designed so that they can’t roll off the head if the chin strap is snug and the buckle is fastened.

Special tips for parents: Fitting a helmet for your child? Follow these guidelines:

• Don’t buy thinking, “They’ll grow into it.” Purchase a helmet that fits properly now, not a loose-fitting one.
• Encourage your child not to go shopping with a specific model in mind. Not all helmets fit every size or shape of head. Instead, have fun trying on several different styles.
