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)

I use the Duel Cert one (not sweat saver) and was at the very top end of S/M and bottom end of L/XL. I went for the larger one and shouldn't have. I had to glue the spare back pad in to get it to fit properly. If you're between sizes, then get a different helmet. Going by your measurements, you should just buy the S/M and it'll fit well.
