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

The German leather half helmet in Vintage Black pairs a synthetic leather covering with a lightweight ABS shell. It is a retro motorcycle half helmet for cruising, with a dark, understated finish that goes with almost any bike.

Key features

  • Vintage black leather look: a synthetic leather shell over classic German helmet lines.
  • Lightweight high impact ABS: diffuses impact energy without adding weight.
  • High density EPS buffer layer: the protective core inside the shell.
  • Ratchet design quick release: with a universally adjustable strap.
  • Strong, well-fitting structure: a solid build that sits securely.

Specifications

  • Meets or exceeds D.O.T. FMVSS No. 218 standards

Sizing

Available in M, L and XL. Run a tape measure around your head just above the eyebrows and at the top of the ears, then check the size chart below. Order the smaller size if you are in between: the fit should be snug when new, and the helmet molds to your head after a short time.
