How to size your head for a riding helmet

Using a soft fabric measuring tape, wrap it around the widest part of your head (over your hair).

It should follow a line about ^3/4 inch (a fingers width) above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.

Take the measurement in centimetres (cm) and repeat a couple of times for the most accurate sizing.

Unlike most other helmet brands which rely on adjustable or broad size ranges (small/medium/large), Charles Owen sizing is very specific because that ensures the safest and most comfortable fit.

How should a riding helmet fit?

A new helmet will break in as you wear it and mould to the shape of your head. It should fit like a new pair of boots: snug, with a firm and even pressure all the way around.

Things to check for:

1. A snug fit with even, firm pressure around the entire head
2. No specific pressure points or gaps
3. Helmet locks onto the back of the skull
4. Helmet sits level on the head, covering the forehead leaving about an inch above the eyebrows
5. With the harness unfastened, the helmet should not rock forwards nor backwards
6. The chinstrap should sit just under the chin and gently touch the bottom of the ear lobe, avoiding the throat
7. You should be able to put a finger between the strap and your chin
8. The harness laces at the back of the helmet should be secured tightly
9. Wear the helmet for 5 minutes to give time for it to mould to your head and reveal any pressure points.
