Riding Helmet Hyda Carbon Matte Black

Size Guide - Choosing the Right Helmet Size

These riding helmets from Charles Owen come in three different sizes - S, M, and L. Each helmet has an adjustable span of a few centimeters. By twisting the dial at the back of the helmet, you can find the perfect fit for you, whether you want to wear your hair up one day or use a hat under the helmet. This feature is also perfect for children who are growing, allowing them to use the same helmet for an extended period. The shells are universal and thus suitable for both round and oval head shapes.

To determine your size, measure the circumference of your head with a soft measuring tape just above the eyebrows and ears. The measurement in centimeters indicates the helmet size, so the helmet size is the same as the circumference measurement. See the table below.

How to Fit Your Helmet

1. Place the helmet on your head and hold it approximately 1 cm above the eyebrows. The helmet should be set at the loosest adjustment.
2. While holding the helmet, slowly begin to tighten the dial function until the helmet fits snugly. Tighten the screw carefully. If you happen to tighten the knob too hard while wearing the helmet, the dial may lock. If this occurs, simply take off the helmet to release the lock.
3. Check the fit by gently applying pressure to the front of the helmet. If the helmet fits correctly, the skin above the eyebrows will move with the helmet. If the skin does not move with the helmet's motion, it is a sign that the helmet is too large or that the screw is not tightened enough.
4. The chin strap should fit snugly under the chin, usually leaving about a finger's width between the chin and the strap. The size of this gap determines how far the helmet can move in an accident.
5. Loosen the screw before removing the helmet, then refit it the next time. This ensures that the helmet fits perfectly each time while also minimizing unnecessary wear on the dial mechanism.
