Vega Altura Helmet Size Chart:
Helmet Sizing Information.
To achieve proper helmet fitment, begin by finding your head circumference size
using the method described below. Remember that the helmet sizing you choose
should fit around the crown of your head comfortably with no pressure points.
The cheekpads should fit firmly around your face. Once your chin strap is
fastened, grab the chin bar of the helmet and move it side to side. Your cheeks
should move with the helmet, which should not slide across your face. Different
thickness cheekpads can be purchased to obtain the perfect fit.
Head Measurement Instructions.
Wrap flexible tape measure around your head approximately on inch above eyebrows
and ears. Use this measurement (in either inches or centimeters) to find your
helmet size in the chart below.

Vega Altura Helmet
Rated 9

based on 15 reviews
Comment: I have one just like this and it is in my opinion the most comfortable helmet I've owned for the price. FULLY vented, vision radious is excellent, cheek pads can be taken out to be cleaned, but would highly recmd a quick release chin strap. The Vega is def. worth the price for the quality.

Comment: Great helmet for the price, little wind noise. In very cold weather (35) it does fog up at stop lights. I'm going to get my wife one

Great for the price
Comment: Just took this helmet for its first ride. I got this helmet to wear during cold and rainy weather, it was 40 degrees today, went for a short 80 mile ride, the helmet was great, fix was great, very little noise. It did fog up a little at stop lights, once I got moving it was great. For the price it can't be beat

big head helmets
Comment: Good quality helmet plenty of air holes so very little misting up of visor. The only reason that I haven't given five stars is because box states 5xl but the helmet in the box is only 4xl still fits ok so I kept it. Very good price and delivery was in time.

Comfortable full face at a great price
Comment: Comfortable full face at a great price. DOT, but I hope I don't have to get in an accident to prove its as good as more expensive full face. First time my ears were not pinched. Visor and chin strap work fine, as does air vents. I think it looks ok for a full face. They also make a 5x.

It worked in the wreck
Comment: 3 weeks ago I had my first motorcycle wreck when a guy pulled an illegal u turn in front of me without signaling. I flew off the bike and landed on the asphalt, hitting the helmet on the front. I vaguely remember my head bouncing and thinking that it was comfortable, weird as that sounds. The fit was perfect for me so the padding and helmet got to do what they're supposed to do -- protect my head. No head or neck injuries. Thank you! Ordering the same one again!

Good helmet for 70 bucks
Comment: Great fitting helmet, fits every bit as good as 100+ HJC I have had in the past, only one spot in the middle of my forehead that it gave me a red spot on after I took it off, but I'm just getting it broke in though. I have a 23' oblong shaped head, you can tell this helmet is kind of designed in the middle to fit round and oblong shaped heads due to there is a tiny gap on either side of my forehead, I got a large and it fits pretty good and snug. Venting is good as well, only place I sweat is at cheek areas, but when it's 100 degrees out with a flat black helmet what can I expect. The face sheild is kind of tight at first but it loosens up after a while. When I first put it on it was a little noisy when you approached crusing speed but now that I am used to it it's not that bad. I really like this helmet, it's well worth the 70 bucks and I would definately reccomend this helmet to others.
