To ensure you purchase the correct sized helmet, you need to measure the crown of your head. With a tape measure or piece of string, measure around your head, just above your ears in centimetres. Then refer to the information below to ensure you buy the correct helmet. Helmets should be a snug, secure fit and may be a little tighter than the worn one that you are used to. The fit of new helmets will relax a little over time.

XS = 52-53cm
S = 54-55cm
M = 56-57cm
L = 58-59cm 
XL = 60-61cm
XXL = 62-63cm

It is always best to measure your head accurately and not rely on a comparison to the size of your old helmet as different brands do vary. 95 times out of a 100 we ship the right size, but just in case you are unlucky and choose the wrong size, just ship it back to us and we will ship out a replacement free of charge.

We will ship upon receipt of payment by professional carrier. Carriage to any UK address is £6.50 and to the Republic of Ireland and Europe is £18.50. We accept payment by PayPal. If you are outside of Europe please contact us via eBay so that we can quote you individually.

IMPORTANT WARNING ABOUT PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

Unfortunately some accidents result in head injuries that can not be prevented by any helmet. Even a very low speed accident can result in a serious head injury or death. Please read the manual provided with your helmet to ensure proper use, fit and care of your helmet.
