For additional info visit our Note: Each brands skateboard helmet size will vary; therefore, it is best to measure your head and refer to the sizing chart specific to each brand of helmet. In order to properly measure your head, follow these steps: Wrap a soft tape measure around your forehead, just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape measure level from the front to the back of your head. Your skateboard helmet should sit low on your forehead. If you do not have a flexible tape measure, try marking a string and measuring it against a ruler. If the helmet is a gift or you cannot measure the skater's head, measure the inside of a current helmet or hat they wear. Within each skateboard helmet product page there are specific measurements for each skate brand. Use that information, along with your head size, to determine your correct helmet size before placing your order. This will ensure that you receive the best fit. For additional info visit our.
