Hey ladies,

Sorry for coming into your forums, but I wanted to know what the majority of helmet sizes are for the ladies. I was gonna get a passenger helmet but am not sure if I should get a medium or a small. I suppose it would be a better idea to get a medium so it is a little bit bigger than too tight. Thanks for the help.

I would say small is going to be the best size, particularly for women. My first helmet was a medium and once it got broken in it got looser and then was too big. My new helmet is a small and fits much better. And I think it is safer to have a helmet that is a lil small rather than too large.

Is this a helmet you are always going to have with you? Or one you are going to store?

My helmet is a medium, it fits just slightly looser then when I got it. Which is what i was hoping for because it pinched my face pretty a little bit more than I liked. Now it is very comfy.
So I guess I am saying if you are going to buy the walmart special then buy a small.
if you are going to buy a good helmet, buy a medium. if you are truly that concerned by one of each.
I agree though, smaller is better than bigger. You don't want her head rolling around inside the helmet.

:wtf I thought it was supposed to be the other way around! :lol Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyways, this is a helmet that is going to be for passengers (females) and I plan on having this helmet for a while. My friend that works at the stealership tried on this medium (Icon Mainframe) and she said that it fits a tiny bit looser than her small that she owns. Her head isn't really flopping around in the thing. But it is snug inside the helmet. That being said, I asked all of my female friends that ride, and all of them said that they own a small, but it is tight. So I think that I would rather have a helmet that is a tiny bit loose for multiple people to use, and if there is one person that rides with me all the time, then I will get a helmet to their size. Thanks for all the help by the way. Keep the sizes coming.

for me it all depends on the brand of helmet. I take a small in ICON but a Medium in HJC and a small in Suomy. what brand are looking at getting?
