01Hawk Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I think my head is fairly large height wise ... I took a piece of string from my chin to pretty much the top of my head and it was 9". Measured around my forehead and that was 23". I can get into my SC helmet with just lifting the visor a tiny bit since I try and Velcro the front down. I have a fairly large nose as well. I can fit into the Helmet with ease and don't think it looks too bad. Here are some pics of my Helmet with measurements of the depth and width. Also a pic of it on me.. If anyone needs a pic of my actual head I guess I could put that up too. I would hate to see people pass on a nice helmet for the $ thinking it wouldn't fit. I am waiting on my Altmann's to get here and will post comparison photos because I think it will def be a better helmet but is more $. Hope it helps.
01Hawk Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 And please ignore the issues with how the armor is fitting ... After 6 miles of walking in upper 80 degree humid weather I was beat and stuff had shifted all around. Was my first time wearing it all out 1
Griffin-X Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Put the helmet on without the balaclava. Now, look in the mirror and talk. If you see your chin, a lot, the helmet is not tall enough. For me, I'm a 24" and the lid fit. But the height was not enough for my "tall" head. When I talked it looked ridiculous.
01Hawk Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks! This will be my spare as soon as the Altmanns gets here. I have this one shoved down so it rests on my head and the padding just keeps it from moving front to back. I guess how your face is structured chin wise can affect it as well. If I yawned my chin would prob poke out the bottom
kayelbe Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I measured my head by holding a tape measure straight in front, down to my chin with my mouth open wide (and yes, I looked like an idiot). It measured over 10-1/2 inches.
Obey Wann Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I had to upgrade to a CB helmet because my SC was just a bit too small. Before: After: I think the CB is much more proportional to my frame. The downside is getting one is a PITA.
01Hawk Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 I should have my Altmanns in a few days and I will take pics of it next to the SC for reference
