 How
to measure your big fat head...
and
assorted size charts
First... pay no attention to the guy in the photo. We're pretty sure
that ruler won't work for this project....
So, you think your head is round, eh? Well guess again, nobody's head
is round. But size charts are based on a circle, right? Go figure....
Is there no end to your grief... Well, maybe. Here's the instructions
for how to measure your head and a list of size charts for the different manufacturers.
Pleeeeease use these charts. Just because your HJC
CL-21 was a medium and fit perfect does not mean a medium
Vega Nitro will fit the same way. Measure your
head!
|
The 411 on measuring your big fat head:
- Start by wrapping a measuring tape around your head about a half-inch above your
eyebrows.
- Then, you need to pull the tape comfortably tight in order to achieve the best results.
Measure two to three times trying to get the same result every time.
- If you get different measurements take the largest size. If you are between sizes,
choose the next largest size.
- Now take a look at the Size Chart to find out the right size for you.
The sizes in the charts are approximations - no one's head is perfectly round
