Kevlar helmet sizes

[Dmitri47]

what do their sizes mean?

whats the difference between

M-7

M-8

L-8

[Beinlausen]

Afaik its Medium 7 (small heads) Medium 8 (normal) and large 8 (for big noggins)


hope that helps :)

It does, thanks.

Also, does it refer to the internal liner only, or do you think/know it's also the external size? Looking at several pics, I had a feeling it might be the latter.

[Beinlausen]

I belive i refers to the whole helmet, since you get camo covers in different sizes for these helmets

Mine was always too goddamn small, that's all I know. Always friggin' hurts your head so damned much.

the letter is the size and the number is for the year/batch of manufacture. Coded so the number does not correlate, ie 8 is not 1998.

my british Mk6 helmet is the biggest size but I still have to take out the little lace-suspension thing inside to be able to wear it properly rofl rofl .

The Mk6 comes in small, medium, large and outsize. Outsize being very rare, I cannot find one for my melon.

****, they come in different sizes?
The supply pogue always told me it was one size fits all. :cantbeli:


In reality there are only 2 sizes, "too big" and "too small".

[Lazy Lob]

I think the PASGT also come in a very rare extra large version. The first was made for Schwarzkopf.

[Dmitri47]

well, thanks for the sizes

i've got a size large thats too damn big for me. email me an offer if you want it, $75+ship sounds fair. its brand new

I am currenlty looking for a "fritz" in small size.

I've tried the medium, and it "looks" to big on me.
Look like a mushroom.

Any of you know of a good source to get one, overseas?

you must have a SMALL head. i've seen XS helmets too, i cant believe people wear those

[Szarak]

I think you are wrong with the numbers. The numbers are symboling the deepth of the helmet.

For example :

A M(edium)-9 size helmet,

And a L(arge)-15 size helmet

Do you see the diffrence?

BTW i should wear a XS helmet, but i have a Small one and its good for me too.

Actually mine fits me perfectly now. I had to adjust the band but one you get it just right...its heaven...now im waiting for the 4 point chin strap...HURRY UP SUPPLY BITCHES!

[Crewdog]

The only part of the code that denotes the size of the lid is the letter. The number is simply the mold that was used to make the helmet. If defects were found in a helmet the others within the same mold number would also be checked, the mold could then be repaired or replaced.

The depth of the helmet is made up by how much you adjust the suspension on the inside of it.

And all of the K-pots I have ever worn gave me a spliting headache within a couple of hours.
