Most motorcycle riders know how important it is to wear a helmet. But, surprisingly, many don’t know the proper way to put one on. Here are a few tips on how to put on a motorcycle helmet:
Before putting on your helmet, make sure that you have the right size. A good fit is essential for comfort and safety. To find the right size, measure around your head just above your eyebrows with a tape measure or string.
Then, use that measurement to find the corresponding size on a sizing chart.
Once you have the right sized helmet, it’s time to put it on. Start by unfastening any straps or snaps that are keeping the helmet closed.
Then, hold the helmet in front of you with both hands and slip it over your head. If you’re having trouble getting it over your hair, try using some talcum powder or baby powder to help create a smooth surface for the helmet to slide over.
After the helmet is in place, fasten all of the straps or snaps so that it feels snug but not too tight.
You should be able to fit two fingers between your chin and the strap of the helmet.
- Assuming you have a motorcycle helmet: 1
- Place the helmet on your head
- It should sit level on your head, not tilted back or forward
- The front of the helmet should come down to about an inch above your eyebrows
- If the helmet has a chin strap, unbuckle it and hold the helmet in place with your hand
- With your other hand, reach around behind your head and fasten the chin strap buckle
- Start by threading one side of the strap into the buckle until you hear it click, then do the same with the other side
- If possible, adjust the slack in the strap so that you can fit two fingers between your chin and the strap when it’s buckled

Should a Motorcycle Helmet Be Hard to Put On?
There are a few schools of thought on this subject. The first is that a motorcycle helmet should be easy to put on, so that riders can quickly and easily get their helmets on and off when necessary. The second school of thought is that a motorcycle helmet should be somewhat difficult to put on, so that it stays securely in place during riding.
Ultimately, the decision of how difficult or easy it should be to put on a motorcycle helmet is up to the rider. Some riders prefer an easier-to-put-on helmet for convenience, while others prefer a more snug fit for safety purposes.
How Do You Put on a Helmet Properly?
Assuming you are referring to a motorcycle helmet:
Most motorcycle helmets have a retention system, which consists of a chin strap and some kind of rear stabilization device. The purpose of the retention system is to keep the helmet securely on your head in the event of an accident.
To put on a motorcycle helmet correctly, first make sure that the helmet is not upside down. The bottom edge of the helmet should be level with your eyebrows. If the helmet is sitting too low on your head, it will obstruct your vision.
Next, fasten the chin strap so that it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between your chin and the strap. If the strap is too loose, it could come off in an accident.
Finally, adjust the rear stabilization device (usually a dial or set of straps) so that it fits snugly against the back of your head. Once again, you should be able to fit one or two fingers between your head and the device.
It’s important to take the time to put on your motorcycle helmet correctly every time you ride – even if it means stopping for a few seconds to adjust things properly.
A properly fitting helmet could save your life in an accident!
How Do You Fasten a Motorcycle Helmet?
Assuming you are asking about how to wear a motorcycle helmet:
Most modern helmets have a quick release system that consists of a lever or knob near the base of your skull in the back. To fasten your helmet, simply push the helmet onto your head and then snap down the lever or twist the knob until it is snug.
You can adjust the tightness by loosening or tightening the lever or knob. Some older style helmets have D-rings that you must loop together and then cinch tight.
How Do You Put on a Helmet Strap?
Assuming you are talking about a bicycle helmet:
Most bicycle helmets come with two adjustable straps—a chin strap and a side/back strap. The chin strap should always be used, as it helps to keep the helmet in place during a fall or collision.
The side/back strap may be used in addition to the chin strap, or on its own if your helmet doesn’t have a chin strap.
To put on the straps, start by adjusting the side/back strap so that it sits flat against your head (you can use the sizing wheel at the back of most helmets to do this). Then, buckle the chin strap and adjust it so that it is snug but not too tight—you should be able to fit two fingers between your chin and the strap.
How To Put On And Take Off A Motorcycle Helmet
How to Put on a Full Face Motorcycle Helmet
A motorcycle helmet is an incredibly important piece of safety gear, and it should be treated with care. Here are a few tips on how to put on a full face motorcycle helmet:
1. Make sure your hair is pulled back and out of the way before putting on the helmet.
2. Put the helmet on gently, making sure not to hit your head on the inside of the helmet.
3. Once the helmet is in place, use both hands to adjust it so that it fits snugly but comfortably around your head. The bottom edge of the helmet should sit just above your eyebrows, and you shouldn’t be able to see anything but a small amount of peripheral vision when looking straight ahead through the visor.
4. Secure the straps under your chin, and make sure they’re tight enough that they won’t come loose while riding but not so tight that they’re uncomfortable.
Conclusion
Assuming you would like a summary of the blog post titled “How to Put on a Motorcycle Helmet”:
The first step is to find a helmet that fits snugly. If the helmet is too loose, it could come off in an accident.
To check if the helmet is too loose, try moving it around on your head. The helmet should not move more than an inch in any direction. If it does, keep adjusting the straps until it’s tight enough.
Next, put on the motorcycle helmet so that it covers your forehead. The front of the helmet should sit about an inch above your eyebrows. If it’s positioned too low, it won’t protect your face in a crash and if it’s positioned too high, it will obstruct your vision.
Once you’ve found the right position, fasten the chin strap and tighten it until it feels snug.
Now that the motorcycle helmet is secure on your head, take a moment to adjust your mirrors and get ready for your ride!
