Is your wardrobe looking a little bit too simple? Has Troy Lee Designs caught your eye, but you’re not quite sure where to start? We’ve been there, done that, and now we’re here to walk you through their sizing to make this nice and simple.
Finding correctly fitting clothes is a universal nightmare. Sizes seem to differ in every store you visit and online shopping, as fun as it is, doesn’t have the same precision as buying something in person. Luckily, you aren’t alone in that problem, and we’re determined to help you through this handy guide.
Finding the right size for you is important! Whether you like a tight fit or something baggier, feeling comfortable in what you wear, both physically and emotionally, is a non-negotiable. We want you to remember that the clothes are meant to fit your body and needs, not the other way around. When it comes to picking our protective gear especially, choose the size that will fit you comfortably, even if the size is different than what you usually buy. Keeping yourself safe and protected while out on your bike is infinitely more important than the number on the tag.
Protecting your head while cycling is absolutely no joke. Whether you’re on a mountain bike or just cycling through the city, wearing a helmet is a necessity, and the better the fit, the safer you’ll be. If you’re new to the game, or looking for some advice on getting a helmet, you can always speak to an expert at your local Leisure Lakes Bikes Store! Otherwise, the Troy Lee Designs Helmet size guide below will do the job too.
If you’ve never had to measure your head before, here’s a quick rundown:
Grab a flexible tape measure, or a string and a ruler if that’s all you have
Wrap the tape measure/string around your head; about 2.5cm (1 inch) above your eyebrows, at the widest part of your head (having a mirror or a friend might help)
Take the tape measure off and take note of the circumference of your head, or measure the string against a ruler
And you’re done! Use that measurement against any helmet sizing guide to get your size
