ARAI
HELMETS FITTING
After many years of listening to rider feedback, we have found that satisfaction
with a helmet -
any helmet - starts with your understanding the importance of fit. Most
importantly,
understanding how proper size and fit affect how a helmet performs during
everyday riding, and
how uninformed purchasing decisions can affect that performance.
While getting the proper size and fit on something as important and personal as
a helmet can
occasionally even be difficult in person in a store, this difficulty can be
greatly compounded when
your only contact is via phone, fax or email and there is no hands-on, in-person
help with the
fitting process. Which is why, with little or no actual firsthand knowledge at
your disposal on
how to size and fit a helmet, Arai sincerely encourages you to not make this
decision lightly.
(Any price savings are soon negated by having to wear a helmet that feels and
fits wrong every
time you put it on!)
1. MEASURING: Have someone measure the circumference of your head with a cloth
measuring
tape – available cheaply at any fabric store - taking special care to measure at
the largest
circumference (i.e. where your head is biggest; typically at just above the
eyebrows, around the
head to include the largest “bump” at the back of your head.) The tape must be
pulled tight, and
the measurement taken.
2. SNUG VS. LOOSE: A helmet that slips on easily may offer an initial impression
of comfort
and proper fit, but after time can become too loose and move around on your
head, allowing more
wind noise to get in and also causing more discomfort and fatigue as you
struggle to keep your
head from getting buffeted in the wind. Like a properly-fit pair of shoes, a
helmet needs to settle
in over time, so be sure to consider this “relaxing” of the interior when buying
your new helmet.
Your initial fitting goal, then, should be for a snug fit.
3. FACIAL FIT: This is a common problem with riders who have a full face, jaw,
or cheeks
because it often results in the mistake of “fitting your face” instead of your
head, and choosing a
larger size in order to get the helmet on past your face. The problem is
compounded again
because in a mail-order/Internet purchase there is no in-person helmet fitter to
help.
Remember, first get your correct head size (Step #1 and link). You’ll yell and
scream the
measured-size will never fit, but respectfully, we’ve heard that before. When
you order your
helmet, consider ordering one of Arai’s optional thinner-cheekpad sets for your
model. Swap the
pads to the thinner ones. Bingo!
4. SIZE COMPARISONS: The helmet size you’re wearing now doesn’t count in
ordering a new
helmet. A previous or current helmet in the same brand, model and size - even if
an Arai - may
not offer the same fit as a current model or size you’re considering. Why? The
natural evolution
of design and the use of new materials can affect – and alter - the size and fit
of a new model.
Arai offers several interior shapes to give you the most possible opportunities
to find one that best
fits your head shape. How can you determine which is best suited for you? In
general, Arai
interiors for the North American markets are based on an oval shape orientation
(somewhat
longer front-to-back and a little narrow from side-to-side). Our models then
vary slightly based
on that general Oval shape to accommodate a much wider fit range
Corsair-V Replicas / Graphics - $ 827.95
Corsair-V Solids - $ 719.95
Corsair-V White & Black - $ 710.95
To ensure proper sizing, please do the following:
- Take a head measurement with a cloth tape
measure.
Wrap tape measure around your head one inch
above your eyebrows, directly above your ears and to the widest area
at the back of your head.
- Look up your size on the charts below.
