Small Helmets for small noggins

Photoguy · 03-14-2007, 12:41 PM

I'm wondering if anyone knows about this. I'm trying to find a helmet for my wife who has an exceptionally small head.

So we got an HJC children's small/medium and it still seems like it may be a bit too big. Does anyone know if there is something smaller? Online I've seen adult sizes of 2 x sm, but I don't know that an adult 2 extra small would be smaller than a children's small/ medium. Any input on brands and sizes would be much appreciated.

I think Arai makes extra small helmets. Give that a shot.

Yes, Arai does make an extra small helmet. Get that with the thick cheek pads and woolah! I have a small head and wear an Arai Signet, small, and my old helmet was an extra small Arai Quantam that was just a wee bit too tight.

My wife's got a tiny noggin. Like you, I believe the smallest we could find was an HJC kid's small. This was a few years ago. Might be more choices now. I'll double check when I get home. If it's anything other than an HJC that we got her, I'll let you know.

I want a helmet with a smaller shell... with my helmet (Shoei) I look alot like a big headed alien (so I've been told)

Thanks for all the input.

After a bit of searching we found that the Scorpion EXO 400 size extra small actually fit better than the HJC and didn't come with the sticker shock of the Arai helmets.
