Sizing Information for the Head Protex Epilepsy Helmet

The Soft Shell Helmet is available in eight different sizes. To find out which size you require, please measure the circumference of your head and choose the correct size from the dropdown menu at the top of the page.

Please note that the margin between sizes is quite narrow, so it's important to take your time and get the right size. 

To find your correct size, please follow these instructions:

1. Place the end of the tape measure at the centre of the forehead
2. Wrap the measure around the entirety of the head using the image below as a positioning guide
3. Match your measurement to the correct size in the second column of the table below
4. Use this measurement to select the correct size helmet from the dropdown menu above

Please Note: The size on the packaging and the helmet corresponds to the upper limit of the head size. For example, an Extra Large will be marked as "58".

Sizing Tips and Tricks

• Ensure the tape measure is correctly positioned before taking a measurement
• If the guidance above is correctly followed your helmet will fit comfortably
• Take the measurement a few times to ensure your reading is correct

How Should a Correctly Fitted Padded Seizure Helmet Feel?

When correctly fitted, the Padded Seizure Helmet should fit snugly against the head, providing a cushioned barrier between the users head and any surfaces they may come in contact with. The Protex Helmet is designed to fit close to the head, as a snug and compact fit is necessary to prevent injury in the event of a slip or fall during a seizure. 

Will the Fabric Relax Over Time?

Yes, the fabric and tension in the helmet itself will relax periodically over time. This means that if at first your helmet appears tight at first, it will relax once it has been worn a few times and the fabric begins to relax.

Designed to Form a Snug Barrier

Our sizing chart above ensures that when your head is correctly measured, you will receive a helmet that fits this circumference perfectly.
