POC: Deals

Find your size

• Measure the circumference of the largest part of your head
• Wrap a tape measure just above your ears and about 1 inch above your eyebrows
• Use brand sizing charts to find your size
• If you can, try helmets on in-person with your goggles

Fit tips

• A good helmet should feel snug but not tight
• If the helmet rocks back and forth or shifts from side to side, the fit is too loose
• It should sit level on your head no more than 1 inch above your eyebrows

Key features:

• Vents: Let cool air in and warm air out. Adjustable vents help fine-tune airflow
• Liners: Adjust liners or ear pads for warmth
• Goggles compatibility: Fit snugly to the top of the goggles without gaps

Happy riding!
