Every Road
Safety expert on impact protection of bike helmets will tell you it’ll be able
to do a good job in any emergency conditions if it fits properly – but this is
only one reason to buy a properly fitted helmet. Other advantages of helmet
fitting are comfortableness, distraction-free ride and a better view of the
road and fatigue-less long rides.
Here are tips for getting the right
fit…
Tale of the tape
The first
thing to get a right size helmet is, measure the perimeter of your head, by a
fabric tape wrapped around a centimeter above from eyebrow. If you are going to
buy a helmet online then check the helmet manufacturer’s guide to see which
size covers your measurement.
The try on
If you are
buying your helmet from any shop then you can only find the right piece by
putting it on your head and trying. While you trying bike helmets, you must check that it is snuggly fit on your head
without folding your ears and putting extra pressure on any part of your face.
Chin Strap
Try to pull
the chin strap away from your chin. If the chin strap moves or loosens, the
chin is either too long or incorrectly adjusted. Readjust the length of your
chinstrap, fasten it and check it again until you have the proper fit and the
helmet is security fastened. Hold the helmet from the back & try to pull
the helmet off. If the helmet starts to come off, the chin strap is not
sufficiently well tightened and or helmet is too large.
For the best
possible head protection, the motorcyclehelmets must be exact in size. And if you do not get the exact size, in
that case, choose which is closest to your head size. If the size of your bike
helmet is too large on your head then it may slip off from your head in case of
emergency as a result, defeating the only intention behind wearing the helmet.
And if your helmet is too small for you then it will distract you and cause an
accident

Helmets are available in different head sizes like small, large & extra
large in different style, colors, and features at the very reasonable price. It
is a fact that you may not always find a properly fitted helmet in the market.
In that case choose a best-fitted helmet for better safety.
