01Hawk Posted July 29, 2015 Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted July 29, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 And looking good scout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbe Posted July 30, 2015 Share 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.

Griffin-X Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It's all good. At least we have options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obey Wann Posted July 31, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
