Go to a ski store and look for a helmet model you like. Some helmets cover the ears and others have ear flaps, and they come in a variety of hues from gray to neon yellow.
Step2
Ask a clerk to help measure your head. If you already know your hat size, skip this and the next two steps.
Step3
Wrap a measuring tape around your head directly above your ears and forehead.
Step4
Take the reading - this is your helmet and hat size.
Step5
Try on the correct size helmet.
Step6
Place the helmet on your head directly above your eyebrows.
Step7
Make sure the helmet pads are snug against your head, with no large gaps.
Step8
Fasten the chin strap and try to roll the helmet off your head. If the skin on your forehead moves, you have a snug and correct fit.
Tips & Warnings
When buying a ski helmet, make sure your ski goggles still fit on your face when they are attached to the helmet.
