KEP ITALIA SIZE GUIDE
Find the perfect size for your new KEP Italia helmet
ABOUT YOUR SIZE
KEP Italia produces helmets with the outer shell available in two different sizes, M or L. The medium outer shell can be fitted with eight different sizes, from 51 to 58, whilst the large shell holds sizes 59 to 62.
But the right size of helmet is not enough; it must also suit the shape of the rider’s head.
Indeed, it is possible to insert small separators into the helmet to adapt it to fit the head of the rider (that can be oval, round or egg-shaped) perfectly and can be inserted at the front, back or on the sides of the inside of the helmet. For this reason, KEP Italia has created twin linings for round oval heads (typical in Europe) and twelve linings for oval narrow heads (typical of North America and Canada).
KEP Italia Sizing System: Shells & Liners
KEP Italia uses two outer shell sizes:
- Medium Shell (M): fits liners from size 51 to 58
- Large Shell (L): fits liners from size 59 to 62
This system allows you to fully customize the fit using interchangeable liners. It guarantees comfort, maximum protection, and long-term value.
Why This Matters
Unlike other brands that use multiple shell sizes, KEP Italia's smart system means:
- Your helmet grows with you
- Especially useful for children or growing riders
- Often, you only need a new liner instead of a whole new helmet
- More practical and cost-effective in the long run
How to Know If Your Helmet Fits Correctly
A helmet that doesn’t fit properly won’t protect as it should:
- Too small: feels tight, causes pressure, and may not protect your neck
- Too big: shifts while riding or during a fall, reducing protection
Quick Fit Test
Put on the helmet, fasten the chin strap, and gently shake your head:
If the helmet stays firmly in place, you have the correct size
