Hey, you. Yeah, you. What size helmet do you wear? No, this isn’t a trick question, and we don’t recommend taking a guess. At worst, a helmet’s fit can be a matter of life or death. At best, it’s the difference between comfort and discomfort.
Here, we present a somewhat extreme example right from the staff of GRM. We love J.G. but, …
Always good info to have out there, thanks for posting David.
Worth noting, I think the gal on the opening picture might be measuring it wrong...
Great explanation on getting the right fit.
May we post a link to this article on our Milwaukeetrackdays.com website under Prep.

Of course. Please share away!
Thank you.
It's helpful cause I usually buy go-kart helmets on Amazon, no need to try them by myself
One more thing to add confusion to the mix: Not all helmets from even the same manufacturer fit the same. I bought 2 different models of Zamp helmets. The first (2nd hand from a guy, never used) was tight on my forehead to the extent that it would give me a headache after 10-15 minutes. Checked sizing, compared to my old Bell, and went ahead and bought a different model Zamp. The 2nd one fits perfectly...exactly like my older Bell.
Not sure if it is just me but . . . haircut affects size. My hair is (or maybe was) thick. Thick enough that when I was getting close to haircut time my helmet(s) would feel tighter. When racking or motorcycling I know when it is time for a trim when the bucket doesn't feel right.
