Wrap a flexible tailor measuring tape around the athlete’s skull, positioning it 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the eyebrows and around the occipital bone at the rear. Match this circumference to the specific helmet brand table.
The helmet should feel firmly anchored with zero slip when shaking the head. However, it should never cause sharp cranial headaches. Inflatable crowns and interchangeable jaw pads allow fine-tuning.
Measure the distance from the outside edge of one shoulder (acromion process) across the upper back to the opposite shoulder. Add 1 inch for skill positions, and 2 inches for linemen.
