KEP Helmet Size & Fit Guide
KEP Italia helmets are designed to provide a precise, secure fit using an interchangeable liner system. This allows each helmet to be tailored accurately to your head shape and size, ensuring both comfort and optimal protection.Unlike traditional helmets, where the size is fixed, KEP helmets use two components to achieve the correct fit: the outer shell and the internal liner.
How KEP Helmet Sizing Works
Every KEP helmet consists of:
Outer shell
This is the structural outer part of the helmet. Each shell covers a range of liner sizes.
Inner liner
The liner sits inside the helmet and determines the exact fit. Liners are available in individual centimetre sizes, allowing for precise adjustment.
This system ensures a more accurate fit than traditional fixed-size helmets.
Step 1:
Measure Your Head
To determine your correct size, measure the circumference of your head using a soft measuring tape.
Measure around the widest part of your head, approximately 1 cm above your eyebrows and around the back of your head.
Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight.
Your measurement in centimetres corresponds directly to your liner size.
For example:
- 51 cm head → size 51 liner
- 56 cm head → size 56 liner
- 59 cm head → size 59 liner
Step 2:
Choose the Correct Shell Size
KEP helmet shells cover the following liner size ranges:
- Medium shell: liner sizes 51–58
- Large shell: liner sizes 59–62
This ensures the helmet maintains correct proportions and structural integrity.
Step 3:
Choose the Correct Liner Shape
KEP liners are available in different shapes to suit different head profiles.
Standard liner
Suitable for most riders.
Oval liner
Designed for riders with a narrower or longer head shape.
Choosing the correct liner shape improves comfort and stability.
