Don't have a measuring tape? No problem.
- Grab a piece of string or a phone charging cable

- Open the measurement app on your phone
- Measure the length in centimeters
Stuck in the middle?
We offer two sizes: Small (50.5 – 56 cm) and Large (56 – 61.5 cm).
If your head measures up to 55.9 cm, we recommend the Small. From 56 cm and up, choose the Large.
To fine-tune your fit, every helmet comes with two sets of back padding — one thin and one thick. Swap them to match your head shape and lock in that just-right feeling.
A note for parents
For children aged 4 and up, our small size (50.5-56 cm) should fit well. Always measure your child's head before purchasing, as head sizes can vary considerably among children of the same age. The beauty of SafeFit is that it can grow with your child, adapting as their head shape changes.
Remember: the safest helmet is the one that fits properly and is worn consistently.

Still not sure?
