This was a Christmas present for a 12 year old boy who loves to play Nerf wars so we thought this would fit right into those wargames.
Authentic look to expensive helmets, light in weight not like heavy metal helmets, a pull down eye visor that snaps back into place when not needed, loads of velcro patch mounts so you can easily customize with your own patches, standard 3 point harness that is found on typical bike helmets, a front camera mount, honestly there is nothing wrong with this at all…it has every single feature we wanted.
Our child loves this helmet. Gives the feeling like being on a battlefield playing against dad Nerf Dart or Nerf Rival !
There seems to be a lot of confusion on the size of this helmet in how it might fit an adult.
((( ((( LET'S EASILY PUT THAT TO REST ))) )))
The product listing has an actual length ( 22 cm ) and width ( 17cm ) size displayed, this may not help many of us who cannot measure our own head in this same way.
So what I did was to measure my own head circumference with a fabric tape measure and I got a full length of 59cm.
Now I put this helmet on and I can say from my own measured head circumference, I can get this helmet on my head but it is tight. Basically zero wiggle room. Personally if this were for me that 59 circumference mark I would consider this too tight.
Next I measured my child who this is for in the exact same manner as I measured myself, their head circumference is 53cm. Upon having my child try this on, this helmet fits perfectly.
With a quick internet search I found typical male/female/my child’s age head circumference.
Adult male - 56 cm - 61 cm
Adult female - 53 cm - 59 cm
12 year old - 53 cm average
So from all of the above I would say this can fit the average adult female. It will perfectly fit my child as said. I would suggest an adult male head circumference " too tight " point at 58 cm. Overall male or female if you generally like a " loose " helmet then I could even suggest a 56 cm or a 57 cm being a cutoff point for you.
This also does include those little foam pads we can put inside the helmet just as standard bike helmets come with so we can adjust the head fit.
If you are looking to purchase this I would strongly suggest to measure the head circumference of the person who this is for. If you do not have a fabric tape measure just tape a couple sheets of paper together, use that, measure and mark it, then measure that out flat. Easy peasy !
For our own use of this helmet, it is 110% perfect and I'd order it again if I need !
Helpful, is how I hope you find my review
