Round Oval Motorcycle Helmets

Picking out a new helmet should be a fun and rewarding process — as long as you know which type to buy. Round oval motorcycle helmets come in a vast array of materials, styles and designs, but all cater to riders with a very specific head shape. Get this selection part wrong and you could easily end up with a crucial piece of your kit not fitting right and not providing you with full protection. We would suggest checking out this thorough how-to on helmet sizing then picking from the right round oval motorcycle helmets for your head shape.

Round oval helmets comprise one of the three types of motorcycle helmets, long oval and intermediate being the other two. The easiest way to find out if you’re indeed a round oval candidate is by studying a photo of the top of your head taken from an overhead vantage point and comparing it to the other two shapes. The next suggestion is wearing a few round oval motorcycle helmets to see how this sizing fits. There’s a difference between pressure points and outright pain so pay attention to how it feels over time.
