Helmet Size Guide

A helmet only protects you properly when it fits. Take two minutes to measure before you order.

How to measure your head

  1. Use a soft measuring tape. No tape? Use a piece of string, then measure the string with a ruler.
  2. Wrap it around the widest part of your head, about one inch above your eyebrows and just above your ears.
  3. Keep the tape level all the way round and comfortably snug.
  4. Measure two or three times and use the largest reading.

Match your measurement to the chart

Sizing differs between helmet models, so always use the size chart shown on the product page of the helmet you want. Don't assume your size in one helmet is your size in another.

How a helmet should feel

  • Snug all the way around, with the cheek pads touching your cheeks.
  • No pressure points or hot spots on your forehead.
  • With the strap fastened, the helmet should not roll forward off your head or twist freely side to side.
  • New helmets loosen slightly as the padding beds in, so a firm fit is normal.

Between two sizes?

Email contact@ridercape.com with your measurement and the helmet you're looking at, and we'll help you choose.

Gloves, jackets and boots

For riding gear, use the size information on each product page and compare it with your own measurements.

Description

This German leather half helmet in vintage brown pairs an old-school shell shape with a synthetic leather covering, so it looks at home on a cruiser or a classic build. Underneath the retro finish is a lightweight ABS shell and a high-density EPS layer, and the helmet is listed as meeting or exceeding D.O.T. FMVSS No.218 and AS/NZS 1698.

Key features

  • Classic German profile: a retro shape with detailed finishing that suits vintage-style bikes and gear.
  • ABS and synthetic leather shell: lightweight construction with a sturdy structure and a high-impact shell that spreads energy.
  • High-density EPS buffer layer: the impact-absorbing liner sits between the shell and your head.
  • Ratchet quick release: the buckle opens fast, and the universally adjustable strap lets you set the length to suit.
  • Fiberglass shell layer: also listed in the construction for energy diffusion.

Sizing

Run a tape measure around your head just above the eyebrows and at the top of your ears, then see the size chart below. If you land between two sizes, pick the smaller one. The helmet should feel snug when new; it stretches and shapes to your head after a short period of use.
