- Start by wrapping a measuring tape around the circumference of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. Where the tape overlaps is your measurement.
- No measuring tape? No problem! Use a piece of string to mark the overlap, then measure the string.
- Use the size chart to find where your optimal tactical helmet size should be.
- Also, don't worry if you choose the wrong size. We offer an easy exchange policy!

Received with OCP stickers with some already peeling since it didnt adhere. Chin strap when tightened is off set and to left the instead of center of face. The lightness is built for all day comfort. The additional ratchet on the back definitely add extra security.
