Chinstrap Sizing Advice
Generally, the size of your ChinStrap will be the same as your helmet size. For example, if you wear an Adult Medium size helmet, select our S-M ChinStrap. If you wear an Adult Large helmet, select our L-XL ChinStrap. For very small children (80lbs or below), we recommend the RX XS (extra small). For very large adults, we recommend the Victory Extra Deep L-XL.
