Red by Burton Men's Hi-Fi Helmet
When getting this good hurts for those who place weight at a premium when choosing to purchase a helmet, the ultralight men's R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet is worthy of serious consideration. At only 13.8 oz. in size medium, it's R.E.D.'s lightest ski and snowboarding helmet. Some of the features found on other R.E.D. models have been stripped away, suggesting that the helmet may lack comfort. But this is far from the truth. The R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet is incredibly light, a comfort feature in its own right. And the interior lining provides just enough padding to make the wearer forget they're actually wearing a helmet. Quick Clip ear pads add warmth without affecting fit, and remove to provide greater ventilation upon warming up. Another option is to attach the Audex Audio Ear Pad Accessory, sold separately, in place of the Quick Clip ear pads for amazing sound that's iPod®, MP3, and CD player compatible. The R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet's multiple mesh covered vents allow full-time escape of moisture vapor, a real plus when climbing to the top of a backcountry couloir.

A soft measuring tape is an excellent tool to determine the correct circumference of the user's head in centimeters and get a rough idea of what helmet size will fit them best. If you do not have a soft tape, use string. Do not use a metal tape as it will not give an accurate measurement.
1.) Have the user stand facing you while looking straight ahead. (Tip: when fitting small children it is helpful to kneel in front of them so you are at eye level.)
2.) Using both hands, hold the measuring tape at each end with the marks facing away from you.
3.) Place the fit tape behind the user's head just above the ears.
4.) Wrap the side in your right hand around to the front of their forehead so the end of the tape is centered between (and just above) the eyebrows.
5.) Wrap the side in your left hand around (just above the ears and brow) to overlap the end of the tape with a snug fit. Read the measurement at the end of the tape to determine circumference measurement.
6.) Remove measuring tape and record the measurement. This number can be used to narrow the helmet size selection using the helmet-sizing chart above.
