Details
When full coverage is the choice, the Hard Shell Helmet with Faceguard offers the best combination of features. The entire clear face guard pivots to the top of the helmet for the convenience of the user.
A strong polyethylene shell is riveted to the liner and the face guard is attached to this shell. Our clear Lexan polycarbonate face guard has an eye level opening(1" x 6") for unobstructed vision and a mouth opening (1" x 3-3/4") for maximum ventilation. We have lined the bottom edge of the face guard with a strip of soft foam. There are many custom modifications available with this style of helmet.
Creamy white outer shell with lining available in Casa Tan, Royal Blue and Pink. An easily adjustable chin strap with snap closure is included.

HELMET SIZING CHART
Since proper fit is important for the comfort of the person wearing headgear, measurements should be determined by professional personnel.- Measure the head circumference (A) at eyebrow level.
- Occipital measurement (B) is taken from eyebrow level to the back of the head at the point that the helmet is to end.
- Over the top of the Head (C) to top of ears.
If for some reason the measurements do not fall within the above guidelines, or if there are other considerations to be taken into account, please refer to the page for information on Custom Helmets.
