Warrior Helmet Size Chart & Guide

In the fast-paced world of hockey, protecting your head is paramount. Warrior Hockey, renowned for its innovative and high-performance equipment, offers a variety of helmets designed to provide maximum safety and comfort on the ice. But finding the perfect fit is crucial. An ill-fitting helmet can compromise protection, restrict your vision, and hinder your overall performance. This comprehensive guide delves into Warrior's helmet sizing system and equips you with the knowledge to select the ideal helmet for your head and playing style.

A properly fitted Warrior helmet becomes an extension of yourself. It should feel snug and secure without causing discomfort or restricting movement. A helmet that's too loose can shift during play, potentially exposing vulnerable areas during impacts. Conversely, a helmet that's too tight can create pressure points, leading to headaches and reduced focus. Finding the right balance between comfort and protection is key to maximizing your safety and performance on the ice.

The Warrior hockey helmet size chart is designed to help players find the right fit, ranging from small to large sizes. The chart includes head circumference measurements in inches and centimeters, corresponding to each helmet size. By matching your head measurement to the chart, you can determine the appropriate helmet size.

• Small: Typically fits head circumferences from 54 to 56 cm (21.3 to 22 in).
• Medium: Generally suits head circumferences from 56 to 59 cm (22 to 23.2 in).
• Large: Usually fits head circumferences from 59 to 62 cm (23.2 to 24.4 in).

Accurately measuring your head is essential for selecting the correct helmet size. Follow these steps:

1. Gather your tools: You'll need a soft measuring tape like the kind used for sewing.
2. Locate the Mid-Forehead: Find the center point of your forehead, roughly halfway between your eyebrows.
3. Measure Head Circumference: Wrap the measuring tape comfortably around your head, starting at the mid-forehead position and ensuring the tape remains level throughout the measurement. Take the measurement at the widest point, which is usually just above your ears.
4. Record the Measurement: Note down the head circumference in inches to the nearest quarter-inch.
5. Check Warrior Size Chart: Compare your measurements to the Warrior elbow pads size chart to determine your size.

Once you have your head measurement, use the Warrior helmet sizing chart to find your size:

1. Match Your Measurement: Locate your head circumference on the chart to identify your size.
2. Consider Fit Preferences: If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a tighter or looser fit.
3. Check Adjustability: Some helmets have adjustable features that can help fine-tune the fit.

Beyond size, here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a Warrior helmet:

• Comfort: The helmet should feel comfortable from the moment you put it on. Padding should conform to your head shape without creating pressure points.
• Playing Style: For aggressive players facing frequent contact, prioritize helmets with robust shell construction and ample padding. For players focused on mobility, a lighter weight design might be preferable.
• Safety Features: Consider features like a multi-impact liner for additional protection and a visor for enhanced facial protection. Warrior offers helmets with various safety certifications, so choose one that aligns with your league's requirements.
• Compatibility: Make sure the helmet fits well with other gear, such as face cages or visors.

1. Incorrect Measurements: Always measure your head accurately using a flexible tape measure.
2. Ignoring Fit Adjustments: Utilize any adjustable features on the helmet for a more precise fit.
3. Not Trying On the Helmet: Whenever possible, try on the helmet before purchasing to ensure it fits correctly.
4. Overlooking Comfort: Don’t sacrifice comfort for size. An uncomfortable helmet can distract you during play.
5. Assuming All Brands Fit the Same: Helmet sizing can vary between brands, so always refer to the specific sizing chart for the brand you are purchasing.
