How to choose the right size?
The helmet is one of the most important pieces of equipment in American football. To be effective, it must be perfectly adapted to the shape of your head. An incorrectly sized headset can reduce playing comfort and compromise its proper fit.
Once correctly adjusted, the helmet should stay in place when you move your head. It should not slide toward the eyes, put excessive pressure on the forehead, or rotate from left to right.
Sportland American advice
Measuring your head circumference is the best basis for choosing your helmet. Always take your measurement before ordering to limit the risk of size errors.
How to measure your head circumference?
1️⃣ Take a measuring tape
Use a flexible tailor's tape measure. If you don't have one, a string will also do the trick: then simply measure it with a ruler.
2️⃣ Measure your head correctly
Pass the meter around your head, positioning it approximately 2 cm above the eyebrows and just above the ears, passing through the widest part of the skull.
3️⃣ Note your head circumference
Take the measurement in centimeters without tightening the tape too much.This value will serve as a reference to consult the manufacturer's size guide.
⚠️Important
Sizes may vary from one brand to another, and sometimes even from one helmet model to another. The interior foams, the support system and the shape of the shell also influence the feeling once the helmet is worn.
Always consult the size table associated with the model you are interested in in order to choose the most suitable size.
