Watch Video: How to Measure Your Head
- 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!

For the money, this helmet is hard to beat. Fit and finish are very good. It's a touch heavy but certainly comfortable for long wear. I found the padding that was pre-installed just fine for my big ole noggin. The straps work nicely as well as the magnetic quick release. I had hoped for a good value and I got one.
Quality product, quick delivery, and quite impressed. Maybe include a bundle with a Wilcox NVG mount for more customers.
I just purchased This helment .It came with plenty of extra pads to add on.The adjustment strap on the back works amazing and the magnetic chin strap is perfect .I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.It is light weight and feels very durable.over all great product.
