Size Guide
How to fit a dial-fit helmet
Step 1: Measure up • Hair should ideally be worn in a low ponytail (if applicable).
• Using a soft fabric measuring tape, wrap it around the widest part of the head (just under the occipital ridge).
• It should follow a line just above the ear and about 1cm above the eyebrows to determine shell size.
Top Tip: Shells are universal fits (round and oval). If at the bigger end of the shell size for a round fit, choose a bigger shell for comfort.
Step 2: Fitting process
• Place helmet on head and hold roughly 1cm above the eyebrow, at its loosest setting.
• Whilst holding the peak in place, begin to slowly tighten the dial fixing at the back of the helmet until secure.
Top Tip: Please tighten your dial-fit carefully. Over tightening of the dial-fit mechanism when the helmet is being worn may cause the dial to lock. If this occurs, simply remove the helmet and release the dial.
• Check the fit by gently pulling down on the peak or front of the helmet. The forehead skin should move with the motion of the helmet if it fits correctly. Independent movement from the helmet is indication the helmet is too big or the dial is not fastened tight enough.
• Due to the dial-fit securing the helmet at the base of the skull (occipital ridge), a consistent contact around the perimeter of the helmet is not necessary.
Top Tip: Before removing the helmet, you should undo the dial. This helps prevent unnecessary stress on the dial fixing, and ensures you are securing correctly with every wear.
Step 3: Final steps
• The chin strap should fit just under the chin and gently touch the bottom of the ear lobe, avoiding the throat.
• There should be one fingers width between the chin and the chin strap. The gap between the chin and the chin strap is an indication of how far the hat could move in an accident.
Top Tip: When doing the chin strap up, place your finger between the strap and face to ensure you don’t pinch.

Details
The Charles Owen 4Star Skull is designed to offer maximum protection in extreme situations. The 4Star is certified to all four of the top international standards, including SNELL and PAS015 and is the result of years of advanced computer analysis to create a truely technically superior riding helmet. This Charles Owen Skull is a deep fitting helmet with the new Charles Owen FreeFit system that involves a front channel inside the helmet to improve air flow around the head. This significantly improves cooling and the evaporation of sweat and with the added ten ventilation holes it will keep your head as cool as possible.
The Charles Owen 4Star is made from the latest aramid fibres embedded into a tough resin matrix to improve the crush resistance of the hat. The GRpx harness offers stability and is fastened with a quick release buckle made from a high strength alloy for quick removal of your riding hat when neccesary. This Charles Owen skull cap is finished off with a free black ventilated hat silk. The Charles Owen 4Star Skull is ideal for the safety conscious rider that demands the very best from their riding hat, particularly riders eventing and competing at higher levels.
