How to Choose the Best Protective Helmet

Protective helmets are a form of specially-designed medical equipment designed to significantly reduce the risk of head injuries, as well as protect a patient’s head following surgery. These devices are also useful for patients who suffer from seizures or those who display “head banging” behaviors, as protective helmets can prevent impact injury to the patient’s head and brain. 

 Helmet size - how do I measure for perfect fit? 

When it comes to secure, safe protective helmets, there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all. The size of a protective helmet determines user fit, and how the helmet stays in place during physical movement. With that in mind, customers should check the sizing options and correlating measurements of the products they are considering prior to purchase. While most helmets are available in a range of sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large), some are specifically intended for children, while others are sized for adults.   Measure the user’s head circumference in three places: at eyebrow level, from eyebrow level to the back of the head, and from the top of one ear to the top of the other.
