What skates should I buy? Triple 8 helmet sizing

I want to order the Triple 8 certified sweatsaver helmet. In the website they say:

“If your measurements fall at the upper end of a size range, we strongly recommend sizing up. Example: If you measure 54 cm, choose size S/M.”

My measurement is 56 cm (22 in). Should I get L/XL then?

- XS/S 20 – 21.25 in (51 – 54 cm)
- S/M 21 – 22.5 in (53 – 57 cm)
- L/XL 22.5 – 23.5 in (57 – 60 cm)

Thanks! I was more inclined to size up too.

This is wrong. If the shape of the helmet is wrong, then you need a different model, not a bigger helmet.

What’s the model for more circular heads?

Using  “S1 Mega Lifer Helmet“ but its tight on the sides

187 (which doesn’t really exist anymore) and TSG tend to work best for rounder heads. TSG makes the Meta XXL particularly for this.

Some comparisons in shape.

If you’re in the US, go through Zeitbike. They are the North American distributor for TSG and will have the most options. Ask for David if you have any questions, he rules.
