My Head is Too Small for Standard Helmets

My Head is Too Small for Standard Helmets

I am an average size woman, but apparently have a small head. I fall in love with a helmet, just to find it is too big. What are some options? Can I safely add an insert to take up that small space to make that helmet I love fit?

Getting the Right Fit
by: coffeepoet

Gmax makes youth open-face helmets in s/m and l/xl which may fit you. Gmax also makes adult xxs.

Shoei has an xs that is nice because they use five different shell sizes, so you aren't just wearing a large shell with thicker pads.

Hope this Helps

I have the same problem. However I found that HJC has the best and most options. Here's a link to their website http://www.hjchelmets.com Their sizes vary from XXS - XXL for most helmets they carry. Under their 'Helmet Technology' button you can find a helmet size conversion chart. Hope this helps, good luck!

Different brands - different fits
by: Sandra

...and some make children's sizes as well.

I bought a Bell shorty in a Small; it was a good fit. But I wanted more protection; bought an HJC FS3 (Snell approved open face - only one I could find) in a medium. It, too, is a great fit. Just like women's jeans - you gotta try them on. Ordering on-line is tricky unless you don't mind shipping back and forth for that perfect fit, or buying a couple of sizes and returning all but the one that is your perfect fit.

But it's completely worth the effort if safety is your concern!

Me Too
by: Tara

I've had problems finding helmets that fit, I'm an extra small, but different brands seem to have different sizes. Keep looking, and keep trying them on. I also find that if I wear a bandanna, they seem to fit a little more snugly. Open face and full face helmets seems to fit differently as well, so I went will a full face helmet that fitted snugly, and didn't hit on my chin. I also wanted full protection, I haven't spent most of my life using all of that sunscreen and moisturizer for nothing.

Small Helmets
by: Anonymous

I too, have a tiny head. The problem......most helmets are made for men. Harley Davidson now has a line of women's helmets that are made for women. I'm sure there are other companies that make women's helmets. The salesperson should be able to help you out.
