How to choose your skateboard helmet size
How do I know my helmet size for skateboarding?
Step 1: Measure your head
Use a measuring tape to measure around your head one inch above your eyebrows. Or use a string to measure and then lay it out and measure the length of the string.
Step 2: Choose your size
Use the chart to convert the measurement to your helmet size
Step 3: Fit your Helmet
Fit the helmet model you would like to purchase. The helmet should have a snug-but-comfortable fit and should sit within the width of one or two fingers above your brow. A helmet that sits low on your eyebrows is too big.
Step 4: Buckle the Chin Strap
This strap should hold the helmet in place without discomfort.
