I am 11 years old and my old helmet is a size medium/Large. Would I be a size small because of the padding or still the same size(medium)?

hmm. I would guess medium but you could have an adult measure your head if you were worried.

I would think you would still be a medium. My son is 10 and the medium fits him fine.

I have bought 3 helmets. In all three cases, I had to do some homework. Go to the manufacturer's website and get the sizing. Then have someone help you measure your head. It's always better to go a little bigger as long as it is adjustable in the back and there is an adjustable chin strap. Don't just think it will say men's women's or children's. I bought my then 11 yr old son a men small that fit him perfect.

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.

Depends on the size of his head, and the size helmet. My 11 yr old wears a size medium adjusted almost as small as the helmet goes. Measure his head and use the chart for the helmet.

My son has an average size head I think and this helmet was too big. It was comically huge in him but with extra padding it might stay put.

A different product, called Fraction, is made specifically for children. Whichever version you get, be sure to measure yours or your child's head with a string or a measuring tape and respect the sizing guidelines on the manufacturer's Web site. Pads of various thicknesses are included for comfort, but padding will not make a helmet safe and effective if the helmet's size is wrong.

probably an xs or small..... the physical helmet shell is the SAME for ALL sizes. it is the internal padding that changes sizes. You can buy replacement padding for it so tech kiddo could wear this for a long time. Here is a size chart from their website. Brainsaver Rubber Helmet Sizing Chart: To ensure a perfect fit, measure the circumference of your head starting in the middle of your forehead and match it with the sizes below. XS 20.10 in - 20.50 in (51-52cm) S 20.60 in - 21.30 in (52-54cm) M 21.40 in - 22.00 in (54-56cm) L 22.10 in - 22.90 in (56-58cm) XL 23.00 in - 24.00 in (58-60cm)

The helmet is sold by third-party sellers, not Amazon. I imagine one seller used the term "M" and another used "Medium" and the system just automatically included both of them. But both labels clearly refer to a medium size, so whichever one you choose, you will get a medium (though possibly from different sellers). I have only bought one of these helmets, so I can't answer your second question on the basis of my personal experience, but common sense suggests that there will be no difference.

I think I bought mine on motorcycle superstore. As for size, it will be the same as your helmet.

Hello there. If you go to the Rip-It website, it will show 3 sizes. Sm/med, med/LG and lg/xl. All heads are different, so my recommendation would be to go to a store that carries that helmet and try it on. But in my opinion, for a 10 yr-old, the small size should be fine. You won't regret buying this product. Good luck.

I found that these helmets run large in half helmets . I own full face LS2 and this one also . Now the full face seemed to run true to size but the half helmets seem to run larger . I usually wear a medium helmet to accommodate a turtle fur underneath , but in this helmet the medium was way too loose for me even with the turtle fur underneath , So I had to go to a small . Again everyone's head is a bit different so sizing may vary per individual . In my case the medium was one size too large and I downsized to a small which still is roomy even with the turtle fur underneath . I probably could have went with the X-Small but didn't feel like returning it again to change sizes again . Hope this helps . I found that these helmets run large in half helmets .

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'd go to a walmart or target and find a BELL helmet and find the size that best fits. that's how i got my size. its better to find one that isnt to small or isnt to big (safety reasons).

I've been riding/training for the past 55 yrs. Highly recommend this helmet. Experience tells me that you should go with a medium. Since your son is only 9 he has some growing to do. That is not to say that you won't need to purchase another one in a few years, to be on the safe side. Everything wears out. Just like the girth straps on a saddle. Hope this helps. This is what I use and have gotten for my grand sons. NJ Kelley

Hello, the helmet and pads is for a child 5 years and older. I bought it as a gift for my friend's grandson, so I cannot measure the helmet. There are straps on the inside of the helmet for tightening. Hope this helps. :) T.

There are some adjustments that can be made after you determine the approximate size but fit also depends on the shape of the head as helmets all fit a little differently. One manufacturers product will fit just fine and the same size from another will be uncomfortable.
