Fit & Sizing
That's the whole point of SafeFit®. Traditional helmets are built around fixed shapes, pressure points, bulk and all. SafeFit adapts to your head for a close, comfortable fit without the fuss. It fits heads between 51 and 61 cm across two sizes.
Measure your head circumference about 1 cm above your eyebrows and check our size guide.
XS/S: 51–56 cm M/L: 55–61 cm
We offer two sizes: XS/S (51–56 cm) and M/L (55–61 cm). If you measure 55 cm and have a deeper head shape, go for the M/L.
Every helmet comes with two sets of padding — thin and thick. Swap them to dial in the fit.

Yes. SafeFit adapts to different head shapes and hair volumes better than any fixed-fit system. Got thick or curly hair and a head size between 55 and 56 cm? Go for the M/L — it gives you the room to dial it in properly.
At the moment, our helmets are only available online and not yet through physical retailers.
If you'd like to try on a helmet before ordering, you're welcome to visit our office in Haarlem, the Netherlands, by appointment.
Simply contact us at hello@headfirsthelmets.com and we'll be happy to help you find the right size and fit.
