Great video guys, I've been riding for years but I always question if my new helmet fits right and showing what a good fit and bad fit looks like is extremely helpful and not that many videos are showing that. Kudos
Thank you for a great video. It really helped me on purchasing my first helmet ever. I was freaking out at the beginning because it felt way too tight. After taking your advice everything fell into the right place. Great help and really love all your videos. Keep riding!!!
I enthusiastically agree. It would likely save them money in reduced returns. A method to determine shape numerically would also be amazingly helpful. I’m still not happy with my second helmet so far. Ugh.
Convinced me to purchase from you guys, excited to actually use a helmet. Between my ebike and eskateboard, I get scared not having one and have ate terd once on my board, thankfully I only got minor scratches, but sure convinced me to order a helmet, DOH.
I have a life long battle with helmet size. I'm in-between a small and medium helmet My head is 22 1/8 inch. Used to buy small helmet and soak it with water and get it's sweaty to break in. A medium will last a while then get loose. I like the helmet right enough where you can grab it on chin gaurd and wrestle it around and it barely moves.
Great video, super helpful. My first mx helmet was an o'neal 3 and it's a large. I tried them on in the store and thought there is no way my head will fit in anything smaller... I just purchased and received, from you guys, the MSR mav4 MIPS size small using the sizing chart. Before finding this video, I did exactly what you suggested - take the cheek pads out to see if my head even fits. Was concerned with trying with cheek pads in, lol, and found this video. Needless to say, the small seems to be my size. Thank goodness I never took a bad hit in the large oneal lol. Always great content guys, thanks!
Received my helmet (a while back) and since, I wear it like religion, not trying to go there, but most get what I mean. This video told me exactly what size i needed. Was alone the day I had ordered it, so had to do the measurements 3 times to be 100% and it works perfectly. BTW, soooooo glad I got it too! other day I ate terd again, scratched the helmet up, but at least my brain didn't get twisted side ways, the rest of me did, but hey, didn't stop me from riding...just cleaned the blood up after my ride, haha! (no really, true story, was bent on going for a ride, eating it or not!). Oh, I got one of the $85 ones, cheap, cool as heck, and works and fits great!
When you were demoing the fit and it was moving up/down and side/side on the yellow helmet. Isn't that a bit on the loose side? I'm also on max side of the S and worried that it might be too small.
Would be very helpful if you mentioned the head shape of a given helmet when doing a review. For example, the recent line of Fox helmets (V1/V2) are very neutral/almost round head shape which does not fit most people while some of the LS2 MX helmets are a long oval shape. Mentioning this is going to save people (and RMATV from paying postage) from buying an ill-fitting helmet and having to return it.
I understand your point on this, however, the fit of every helmet is very subjective to the rider. You say the Fox helmets have a neutral/round head shape while many other riders would disagree with you. I don't want someone to not buy a helmet because I said it has a certain head shape. If I have several riders all try on the same helmet and they we all come to the same conclusion that the helmet shape could be something mentioned. - Chase
Thanks for this! If I have to really push to get my cranium shoved up into the comfort liner, and I can feel my heart beating in my temples, is that too tight, or do I just need to assume it will break in? I feel like I’m in between sizes, but “snug” is kind of subjective. This is a Fly Racing Formula CC Driver (from RMATV of course).
What would you recommend for a person who's getting an all terrain electric scooter? 🤔 I really like the typoon I'm on a budget right now but I'm in Texas so the summers are hot and need something with good airflow.
hot spots, pressure points .... look.. I'm gonna level with you guys. what's the biggest goddamned MX style helmet out there? I'm talking an apartment inside. for an egg oval head. I'm sick to death of tiny Chinese helmets. my garage is half full of them
