I went directly to the luckybums.com website for sizing information. They show the sizes and what they work out to in circumference measured in cm. There is even a cm to inches conversion chart if you don't have a metric tape measure. Measure your head (or your son's) and now you can match up the size. Easy! This form of "Showrooming" works well for amazon providers who don't give much relevant information on their products on the Amazon site.

Measure the diameter of his head and pull up the chart, look for men's sizes. Order the closest size to what you measured. The helmet has adjustments for more or less on the size. That's what I did and it worked perfectly. Nice helmet!

This is a small helmet period. When ordering I was "told" to measure my head 1st, so that I would know what size helmet I wore. I already knew I wore a small, but I measured anyway. It fits the way it should and I like the helmet. In the case of one's head, measurement is not male or female. It's inches.

Hello Karen, I'll try to help you out as much as I can. I forgot when I purchased this helmet, maybe on your screen it'll tell you that info but unfortunately it doesn't say on my end. My son turned 11yrs in Feb and he's of average size. Just yesterday we used this helmet and another same size helmet for him and his 5 cousins ages 7-13yrs for go-karting and they weren't complaining at all. So I assume they did fit. About a month ago my nephew used it and he's 17yrs but we had pulled off some of the inside paddingt which are held together by buttons. To tell you the truth, it is a good quality helmet if your using it in light/mild activities. I wouldn't trust it so much if he used it for motorcycling. Another factor is that you can't beat the price. Then again, you can't put a price on the safety of kids. I hope this helps. Good Luck! Duane M.

To be honest it may be a little too big for his head. On my tiny 4 year old daughter (29 lbs) it barely makes enough of a seal. You could always try it out and keep it for when it does fit. It's worth it!

My son took the helmet to Iceland, he'll come back in a month. Try to ask us in a month. I just know he is very happy with it.what he did, is trying it in a store and then ordering it in amazon. Good luck.

No, will not fit an adult size head (7 1/4) sits way too high on top. Cannot recommend you get this helmet. Hope it helps

The one I got is definitely for an adult. I don't know if they come in children's sizes.Mary

Yes, I believe it is. I am an adult with a small head and was very impressed with the total safety of this helmet. If I had 3 y/o I would allow him/her to wear it and feel safe for them. I hope this helps you.

I think the helmets are in kids. Because before i buy this helmet, i went to ski shop to test out how big i shoud wear. XL in the ski shop seems having some space for my head, but this XL helmet is really small. I need to push hard to fit in. :(

First off, i wouldn't buy this vest unless your buying this for a kid, simply because the vest is too small for an average adult, but as far as materials goes, it is just as adequate as any other vest in its price range, i would recommend getting a UTG vest instead its more bang for your buck and it will fit the average adult [5'7-6'] so to answer your question, it is a good vest for a kid vs. an adult.

Since I bought it on line without realizing I bought the small one. I find for adults it is pretty tight to use it. for children it should be alright and also smaller sized adults.

good question - i don't know. i checked both versions and even the adult version says kids age 3 and older.. but i don't think it makes such a big difference since its all natural? i give my kids the adult version too if i am out of the kids one.

this summer I bought two O'Neil Youth Reactor full suits for my two kids. My son is 11 and my daughter is 9. I bought a size 10 for my 9 year old (which is small/petite for her age group). The suit was big on her (she normally wears a year behind her age) but the suit still fit ok. I expect next summer it'll fit closer to perfect. My 11 year old son is average to large and his 12 fit him pretty well. I expect he'll use it next summer as well, but after that will likely need another. I'd suggest buying the 8 for your daughter. Too small and the suit is useless. Even thought my daughters suit was loose, it didn't bother her at all, and she was thrilled to have the full after freezing in an ill-fitting shorty. this summer I bought two O'Neil Youth Reactor full suits for my two kids.

If I'm not 50 or over. Why would I take Centrum Women 50+. This is for women 50 or over. So how would I know the difference in size. Like I said I'm not 50!!!

Yes adults can wear them as well. I just put them on my head and they fit great. I do have a smaller head than the average adult, but I do think they fit me better than my 4 year old. It is a larger sized headband and not a toddler size. Hope this helps!

I got it for my 4 year old and it fits great. It comes with extra inside padding, so you can add/remove the padding of the helmet for the best fit.

How does it work? how big is your head? I doubt you are a small or X-large without knowing it. I got a large, fits perfect on an average size adult male skull. You might move down to medium if you are build a little smaller or maybe for a female head.
