How to Fit a Lacrosse Helmet

Posted by Brian under Uncategorized

To start, it is important to determine the circumference of your head using a measuring tape.  This will then allow you to match up with the sizing chart on the helmet  package.  This will give you a good starting point when finding a helmet to try on. 

After finding the helmet that is roughly your size, place it on your head, with the front about one inch aboce your eyebrows.  The helmet should sit evenly on your head without shifting from one side to another.

The helmet should feel snug all over your head.  It shouldn’t be so tight as to not be comfortable, but tight enough so that it remains in place.

Move the helmet from side to side and front to back.  Your forehead skin should move with the helmet.  If the helmet slides away from the helmet then it is too big. 

Finally, fasten the helmet’s chinstrap.  Adjust it to fit firmly against the chin.  There should be no slack, but you should be able to open and close your mouth without much of an issue.
