Avoid common helmet fitting mistakes that can undermine your protection.

Helmet Fitting Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t choose a helmet that’s too loose

A loose helmet can shift during a crash and reduce protection.

The helmet should feel snug but not painful around your head.

Avoid squeezing the helmet too tight

A helmet that is too tight can cause headaches and pressure spots.

You should be able to move your jaw without discomfort.

Check strap adjustment

A correctly adjusted chin strap holds the helmet in place securely.

Use the strap adjustment to keep the helmet snug without pinching.
