Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I get the correct size and a secure fit?
A: To find your perfect match, measure your head circumference approximately ¾ inch (2cm) above your eyebrows. Once the helmet is on, use the Bespoke Fit dial to fine-tune the tension; the helmet is correctly fitted when it remains stable as you shake your head, with only one finger fitting between the chin strap and your jaw.

A: Absolutely. The Shires Karben is certified to SEI ASTM F1163-23 standards, making it legal for most competitive organizations. Its elegant low-profile design and professional matte finish meet the high aesthetic standards required for both local and regional show circuits.
