Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my head circumference to find the right LAS helmet size?

To ensure a secure, comfortable fit, measure your head circumference horizontally approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows and directly above the ears:

  • Virtus Carbon, Virtus & Cobalto: Size S/M fits 54 to 59 cm (21.3″ to 23.2″); Size L/XL fits 59 to 61 cm (23.2″ to 24.0″). Fine-tuned with the Nano 3D micro-dial system.
