This is a great video!!! So many shops and riders have no clue how to go about fitting for a helmet.. Thank you for putting this video up. Good job.

I just got one that I'm unsure about. It seems to be a little too tight, but I'm hoping it will be just right after it wears in. All my previous helmets became too loose after a year or so. Can a helmet be too snug?

[jpcycles2]

@byteusa Outside of the comfortability factor, if it is too small or too tight it may leave areas of the head and neck exposed. If you are unsure, it may be best to have a conversation with our support technicians @ support.jpcycles.com

Good helpful video!

Thanks for the video. I am a veteran biker, but recomended this tutorial to several newcomer friends and they learned a lot.

[jpcycles2]

@bucefalo123456789 Thats great. We see soo many people purchase a helmet that doesn't fit them and they end up returning it. It's just a hassle for them and if they decide to wear the helmet, it's soo uncomfortable that they blame it on the helmet or the place they bought it. We would rather see people enjoy the products they get from J&P Cycles. Keep on passing the videos around, we are working on more videos to make riding for the newcomer easier to learn.

very very good video

[insideimcrazy]

THANKS your video really helped me out..

[jpcycles2]

Glad to hear that it has helped you out. What helmet did you get?

[insideimcrazy]

i ordered a KBC - VR - 2R Dragon Helmet - Silver- Large...i measured my head and its 60 cm.. so its just right.. its pretty snug.. but i feel like it will become more fit once i start wearing it... have any tips on cleaning the visor?? i already have some finger prints on it and tried cleaning it with tissue but it smudged.. you think windex and cloth would be okay? please advise...

[jpcycles2]

DO NOT USE WINDEX. Windex and other cleaners that contain Amonia will cause a foggy dulling of the visor. It will litterally eat into the material. Simple dish soap and warm water will work fine. Other cleaners that don't contain ammonia will work also. Also, to avoid scratches, use a microfiber cloth, Toilet tissue is still made from wood and will cause micro scratches that become annoying when the sun hits them just right.

[jpcycles2]

Glad we could help, and yes, more snug is better as it will not jossle around on your head that way.

thanks for the great tips!

I have sold my XL for a Large, I would rather it be a little tight than too loose.

[cortedan2000]

i have a pretty big head, and i dont want to wear a XL cuz i look like E.T lol, im wondering if i could make the padding smaller so my head would fit on a med or a large, do they sell smaller padding for helmets?????

[jpcycles2]

Smaller padding would only make a helmet less effective. It would really not be recommended to modify a helmet just to make you look better other than maybe some graphics that are slimming. I would start there. Otherwise you could try some different brands of helmets.

I bought a dirt bike helmet a while ago and i have a big head so i got a xxl and its really tight at the front of my head and at the sides they scratch the side of my head right behind my eyes really bad and it hurts when i put it on and hurts the front of my head is there any way i can like make it fit like streatch it?

[jpcycles2]

CountryboyG,

To our knowledge, there isn't a way to stretch out your helmet and we wouldn't recommend doing that anyway. I would go back to where you got the helmet, try on some different helmets and make sure it fits. Notice in the video, we point out different shaped heads. Check your shape and see if the style helmet you bought is for that shape of head.

[psxp1]

Great video!!

You should really go into a store and size a helmet before ordering online. Helmets/brands fit differently as they mention in this vide

[jpcycles2]

We completely agree with you PSXP1... However, this will at least get you in the right area of the helmets when deciding which one to try on.
