How to Measure
To measure your head for a helmet, use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around the widest part of your head, usually just above the ears and about half an inch above the eyebrows.
Measure more than once to confirm the number. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for comfort.
A properly fitted helmet should feel snug around your head without painful pressure points. If it shifts easily while riding, the helmet is too large.

Certified for the Ride
DOT-certified for reliable protection, the Headmaster doesn’t just look good. It’s built to keep you safe. Inside, a plush liner and ergonomic fit ensure all-day comfort on every ride.
I was debating between this and a much pricier option. Glad I went with the Headmaster. The craftsmanship is clearly above what the price suggests tight finish, even paint, solid visor pivots. Two months in and it still looks brand new.
This has the exact silhouette I was chasing like classic GP helmets from the 70s but with modern safety built in. The liner is plush, the visor doesnt fog easily, and its genuinely light for a full face. My Honda CB500F loves it.
bonne grandeur tres beau casque et confortables
Had this on backorder and it was worth every day. Feels premium the moment you pick it up. Surprisingly quiet at highway speed too. The retro profile is exactly what I wanted and the DOT rating gives me full confidence.
The Headmaster looks fantastic and the build is solid throughout. My only small note is the visor mechanism feels a little stiff out of the box loosened up after a few weeks. Paint quality is excellent and the chin strap is bomber. Would still recommend.
