How big is your helmet?

Post by wonderpupp »

I have an extra small head, and all my helmets are Extra Small. (AGV, OGK, Caberg, Shark and Craft...)

I have a couple of mates who are crazy enough to be bugging me for pillion rides, I have plenty of quality jacket / trousers /gloves combos to fit them up in decent gear (I wouldn't want them to get injured if anything happened...)

but they all have bigger heads than me, and my spare / old lids don't fit them.

Short of making each of them pay out however much for a helmet of their own, which is a bit silly if they have one go and then decide I AM crizzy rider, I would like to get a pillion lid for these crazy people to wear. I want to know what the most common size head is - so far they are all about 58/59cm - medium to large. (yes, I measured them - you see why it's impossible for them to fit in my lids!!)

How big are your heads?

oooer mrs!!!

i have a small one too, 56cm so thats a small i think. You have to remember that each make also fits differently,so sizing might be right but the fit wrong. But if its just for a quick spin so long as they have something on thier head they should be ok, and if they do like it they can buy thier own. Id probably gor for a large. The large i reckon would cover the vast majority of people especially going by the ones you have measured.

LOL if the helmet dont fit it will come off in the event of an accident, better for it to be too tight rather than too big.
my bonce is a medium i think.... cant go wrong with a medium. but like rob said all helmets are different.
just make them buy there own helmet for like 20 squid or something.
