steakandpotato Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 HELLO. Yeah so quick one today. I'll be buying a helmet (Either an MK6/MK7 depending on availability and cost) - How do I know what size to buy? I've never bought a helmet before and never really been one for hats.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 16, 2018 Supporters Share Posted February 16, 2018 Measure your head with a tape measure then google mk6 or mk7 sizing guide and the first results will tell you everything you need to know. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. Not beneficial in the slightest. Did you not consider that I've tried that? Nobody seems to actually have a size chart anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted February 21, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2018 Did you measure your head? What size is it? Large will fit but could be too low and a bit loose, although you can use some extra padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 21, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well, someone's tetchy this morning... Here's an idea, if you can't find the answer online, phone a surplus shop who sells them and ask them. If they sell them regularly they'll know. Or better yet, get off your arse and try them on in a shop before you buy. It's crazy, radical thinking like that which sets us apart from the apes.

Did you not think he's already considered that?! I am old fashioned and like to know specifics, much easier than guessing... so how long is that piece of string? Handy hint: if you do not have a tape measure you can use a piece of string to measure a circumference and then use a ruler to measure the length of string.

Supporters Gepard Posted February 21, 2018 Supporters Share Posted February 21, 2018 My head size is 60cm and a small MK6 fits me pretty well. Hope that helps as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 21, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2018 I know, we must be showing our age Jedi. Who'd have thought that measuring your head and phoning a surplus store would be such an outdated practice. You can just Google any problem these days though...

The issue imo is that everyone now days has social anxiety thanks to the fact we sit on screens all day I mean, the weird thing about teens and young adults (like 25 and under) is that most of us can sit on a screen all day, chatting to random people on text based forums, or on a mic.. But the second it comes to making a phone call? Meeting someone face to face? Dentist appointment?... That's it then.. Complete shutdown of all social skills... Well at least that's what happens to me and most of the people from my school year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
