To measure your head circumference for the LIGHT HELMETS LS2 Youth Football Helmet, follow these steps:
1. Use a fabric or paper tape measure, or a string and ruler, to measure your head circumference in inches.
2. Make sure the tape measure touches the following points on your head:
- 1 inch above the browline
- ½ inch above the ears
- Occipital bone on the back of the head
3. If you have thicker hair, compress the tape measure until you feel the hair "push back" or create slight resistance to the tape measure. This will serve as a good approximation for the helmet fit.
Once you have measured your head circumference, refer to the size chart provided in the user guide to determine the starting point for selecting the helmet size. The LS2 Youth helmet shells are 5% smaller than the Varsity helmet shells and are typically for kids under 14 and below the high school football level. If your head size falls directly between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size helmet.
It's important to note that the LIGHT LS2 helmet comes with fit pads and fitment shims that can be adjusted to customize the fit. If the helmet feels too loose, you can use the provided fitment shims to secure a better fit. On the other hand, if the helmet feels too tight even after adjusting the fit pads, you may need to explore changing the size of the liner in the helmet or utilizing half-thickness fit pads.
Ensure that the helmet meets all the checklist items mentioned in the user guide, such as resting 1 inch above the eyebrow, aligning the ear canal with the helmet's ear holes, and the player's Occipital bone being completely covered and touching the back of the helmet. If the helmet does not meet these criteria, you may need to consider a different size or style of helmet.
