Long Oval Motorcycle Helmets

As with most things in motorcycling, getting it right means doing some research. Long oval motorcycle helmets are a prime example of discovering what gear will fit you best. An ill-fitting helmet, no matter how cool it looks and how much it costs, is simply the wrong tool for the job. Cycle Gear’s large selection of helmets meant to fit the long oval shape is bound to have something in store for your tastes and head shape.

“How do you know if you have a long oval head?” It’s a question we’ve heard plenty of times and one we’ve sought to answer once and for all. The best way to find out if you have a long oval head is through simple photography. Have a friend stand over you and take a photo of your head from the top. Compare that picture with our handy head size chart available here and you should be able to narrow things down. Wearing a handful of different helmets shapes and sizes will also reveal what’s right for your head shape.

Trust us when we say helmet manufacturers are well-aware of the discrepancy in head shapes. They want to meet the needs of riders as much as you want to plunk down some hard-earned cash on that latest Arai, HJC or Shoei helmet. So use your noggin! Determine your head shape and then come shopping. Cycle Gear has 148 stores across the US so we’re never too far from your home.
