The first step is to measure your head. This is properly done by measuring the head at the widest part (with hair worn in the style you will be riding in), with a snug measuring tape. The widest part is usually 1" above the eyebrows. Take take the head measurement and convert it into the appropriate size, using the chart below.

20"	20 1/2"	21"	21 1/2"	22"	22 1/2"	23"	23 1/2"	24"	24 1/2"
6 1/2	6 3/8	6 3/4	6 7/8	7	7 1/8	7 1/4	7 3/8	7 1/2	7 5/8

When a helmet fits properly, it will not easily roll forward or backward and it should not be removable without unbuckling the chin strap. Some helmet styles are equipped with padded inserts. These may be placed inside the helmet liner if need be. If you have an oval shaped head you may require pads in the sides of your helmet liner. A properly fitted helmet will be comfortable and not fit so tightly that it causes discomfort, or move about unnecessarily. The diagram below shows how to properly wear your helmet. While you are horseback riding, your helmet should remain snugly in place.
