D. CHOOSING THE CORRECT HELMET

2. DETERMINING THE CORRECT HELMET SIZE

We produce the SR1 in six double helmet sizes. Please use the
following table to determine the correct helmet size for you:
Head size SCHUBERTH
in cm
helmet sizes
52 - 53 52 / 53
54 - 55 54 / 55
56 - 57 56 / 57
58 - 59 58 / 59
60 - 61 60 / 61
62 - 63 62 / 63
The SR1 is produced in three shell sizes:
Shell size

If your head measurement falls between two helmet sizes
(e.g. 57.5 cm), we recommend that you try the smaller size fi rst.

3. CHECKING THAT THE HELMET SIZE IS CORRECT

Put the helmet on and fasten and adjust the chin strap correctly
(this is important; see section C.10, 'Retention systems'). Check that
the helmet is the correct size for you and sits properly.
Step 1: Check that all internal cushion pads lie fi rmly against
your head but without pressing:
(a) Cheek comfort pads
(b) Headband cushion (particularly in forehead area)
Should you feel an uncomfortable (not necessarily
painful) pressure, try the next helmet size up.
Step 2: Check whether the helmet gives you a suffi cient
peripheral fi eld of vision. Some restriction of lateral
vision is inevitable in any helmet design, but this should
not be so great as to be perceived as interfering with or
limiting your ability to see.
Step 3: With the helmet on your head, hold it fi rmly between
your two hands and move it upwards and downwards.
Try also to twist the helmet. You should feel these
movements pulling on your facial skin and scalp. If the
helmet moves too easily, it is too large – in this case, try
a smaller size.
