True to measurement chart follow. Don't want helmet loose or to tight lots of inner padding.

The only way I knew was because I've been to go-kart tracks nearby and they have various helmet sizes. Those sizes correlate well with what you see here. If that's not your thing, then go to any nearby motorcycle store and try on a few for size. A couple of tries should be enough.

They run the same size as a normal helmet. I suggest going to a local motorcycle shop and trying on a few and see what size fits you best.

Hi Alexandra! Your best bet will be to measure your child's head. You can view the sizing of the helmet here: http://screencast.com/t/xiVSeUEG. I sure hope that help! Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help!

I would measure head, and get the largest size that will still fit. These helmets are awesome and to be able to adjust it with a turn off a knob, brilliant. That way your able to make it bigger as he grows.

Did you end up buying this helmet? If so, what size did you order and did it fit well? My head is also a 22".

Aha! I went online and researched - take a tape measure around your head at forehead level. Mine was like 24 inches I think. Convert that to centimeters, as most helmet sizes are cm. Then there are guides online that equate inches to helmet size - see website below (http://www.telemarktips.com/HelmetSizing.html)

Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable. I may get a small/medium if I were a woman, unless you're taller and have a larger head. I am six feet tall and have a somewhat large head and the large works well.Im not sure about mounting reflectors. I personally have found that its a little easier to put reflectors on seat posts pedals and other parts of the bike, but to each his own. All in all its a good helmet. I think you'd be happy with it in small. I came from a Giro Hex which was also a nice helmet, but this helmet has more venting and as a result keeps you quite a bit cooler in hot weather. Best of luck. Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable.

My head is 23 1/4 and this helmet even with the XL did not fit. I ended up returning it. But every head is shaped different. I got a kali helmet size med/large and it fits awesome. The Giro helmet other then fit I loved though

This is a small helmet period. When ordering I was "told" to measure my head 1st, so that I would know what size helmet I wore. I already knew I wore a small, but I measured anyway. It fits the way it should and I like the helmet. In the case of one's head, measurement is not male or female. It's inches.

I'm sure you can find that on the Ovation site. I will say I measured my head and am a 6 and 7/8 size. With my very first helmet that was fine. But with the 2 troxel helmets I had a small was too tight. The Ovation fits wonderfully - it is a small/medium. I do know, now, that some helmets are better fitted to oval heads, and some to round. Best way - find a tack shop and try them on.

Measure the child's head and use the chart listed - my 5 yr old son measured as a large so I contacted the company to ask and they said it sounded big but just trust the chart. I did and his large helmet was a perfect fit! Snug but not uncomfortable.

If it makes you look like a bubble head you probably ordered the wrong size. Mine fits great. Looks smaller than full-face helmet. I'd want a full coverage if I rode a motorcycle at highway speeds, but I ride a Suzuki 700 ATV on desert trails - usually below 25MPH, so the VCAN works well. Warm enough on cold days, and doesn't overheat me in the summer.

tough question because every company has their own sizing chart. If you haven't already, check their website for a sizing chart. I ordered a Medium. It has an adjustment that is easy to use with the helmet in place. The range of the adjustment is pretty impressive. It can go so small that there is no way I could possibly get my head in it, and yet it can get so big that it would easily fall off of my head. My head is 22.5 inches around (just above the eyebrow). That's the best I can do.

The best way to find your size is: get a piece of string that can span around the perimeter of your head. then, measure that length with a regular measuring tape. Amazon provides the different measures for the different sizes of helmets. I hope this helps.

Perfect, I need to make a simulation. I need a measure of 60-64 cm and this helmet you told me that it's okay. Do you have a helmet more 'economical?
