SHOEI Size Chart
Note: Head circumference is only the starting point. SHOEI specifically states that a motorcycle helmet cannot be selected by circumference alone. Head shape, helmet model and interior padding all affect the fit. Trying the helmet at an authorised dealer is recommended.

How to Measure and Check the Fit
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. Measure the head | Wrap the tape horizontally around the widest part of the head, approximately 1–2 cm above the eyebrows and just above the ears. |
| 2. Select a starting size | Compare the measured head circumference with the SHOEI chart. |
| 3. Put the helmet on | The helmet should fit firmly and evenly around the head. The cheek pads may feel noticeably snug at first. |
| 4. Check movement | Move the helmet from side to side and forwards and backwards. The scalp should move with the helmet. |
| 5. Check pressure points | Strong, localised or painful pressure points indicate an unsuitable size or head shape. |
| 6. Use professional fitting | SHOEI recommends trying the helmet at an authorised dealer. The Personal Fitting System can adjust the interior padding when required. |
Important: A new SHOEI helmet may feel snug but should not create painful pressure points. A helmet that is too loose can move while riding and does not provide an optimal fit. Availability of XXS and 3XL depends on the model.
SHOEI Personal Fitting System
Participating SHOEI dealers can take detailed head measurements. The SHOEI Personal Fitting System recommends a suitable helmet size and allows the centre padding to be individually adjusted with special fitting pads.
The information is intended as a sizing guide. The current size selection and product-specific instructions for the individual SHOEI model take priority.
