Default Of course, you know this........

HELMET SIZING
SIZING: Helmets should fit as snug as possible without causing discomfort. Measure head circumference around the largest part of the head approximately one inch above the eyebrows and just above the ears. If a one or two layer Nomex hood will be worn with the helmet, it should be worn when measuring head circumference. If a hood is not available, add about 1/4 inch to the circumference measurement for a single layer hood and 1/2 inch for a double layer hood.
Inches = Helmet Size
22 = Xtra Small
22 3/8 = Small
22 3/4 - 23 1/8 = Medium
23 1/2 - 23 7/8 = Large
24 ? = Xtra Large

Default Try it on for an hour before purchasing.

I had one that I thought was perfect, but after wearing it for a while at HMS Motorsport, I switched to another that was more comfortable for the long haul.

Cheap enough that you can buy a "proper" SA helmet if you get serious.
