How to fit a Charles Owen helmet

Measure in Centimeters

Select appropriate helmet

Put helmet on, noting how tightly it fits

Assess for snug, even fit

A properly fitted helmet is essential to riding safely! Charles Owen offers helmets for every head shape. New helmets will break in and mold to the shape of your head, but when it's brand new, it should fit like a new pair of boots - snug, with a firm and even pressure all the way around.

How to measure for a Charles Owen Helmet

Proper measurement is the key to getting a helmet that will keep you safe in the saddle. You'll need a soft measuring tape with centimeter measurements because they provide the most accurate sizing. Measure ¾" above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.
