I followed the size 58 chart which is medium, and ended up buying a thinner cheek pad in order to easily put it on. Better to size one up to large for more comfort and avoid compression in longer rides.
Hugging the cheeks isn't a bad thing at all! You want it snug. It should break in a little but you can also get different cheek pads from Astars. - Chase
I see that Astars does not offer youth sizes. My son is 13 and his head measures 21.75 inches and is between a YS and YM. It would fall into the Adult Small size chart. Is it advisable to wear an adult sized helmet if youth sizes are not available?
I just got mine and it feels great while wearing it and it awesome
will be my next helmet. so awesome
Hi I bought an S size but it was too small...it fits for a 55-56. My head is 56- 56 and an half...I change with an M size hoping it will fits ok.
Did it fit in m ? I ordered an m as my head is 58 but is way to tight sliping it on and off is painful!
@@jdc9128 Same here, I have to up 1 size to L 😅

@@jdc9128 ok glad it isn't just me lmao
@@sayhigh did the large end up fitting?
I just got mine in the mail today. Great helmet! Can’t wait to ride in it. I will say though, it hugs my cheeks a little more than I’d like though.

Hi, How did you connect hands-free hydration system?
Damn I just bought the m8
This model have space to put earphone of intercomunicators like the sm8 or sm10?
The M5 does not come with speaker cutouts.
I'm thinking new helmet. Which one should I buy s-m5 or ls2 subvert?
M5 is what I would choose - Chase

No, they are designed differently, adult should not be used for youth and youth should not be used for adult.
@Rocky Mountain ATV MC i would really like to know what ventilates more the fox v1 or the m5?
Both ventilate really good. The V1 does seem to have more/bigger vents but I love how light the M5 is. - Chase
Same shell size for M and L?
I think it's a SM/M and L/Xl - Chase
So the main difference is no MIPS? Edit: between this and the m8/m10
No this does have mips just heavier and different shape
If it wasn't for DOT, it would be another half a pound lighter. Give us ECE-only helmets, damn it!
how is DOT making it heavier? ECE-22 goes through more rigorous testing.
How tall are you?
When are you announcing the winner of the give away for the top ten list
Did you watch the entire video? I'd go back and watch again. Til the end this time :) - Chase
@@rmatvmc yeah I just went back and checked the rules again but thank you
@@rmatvmc I watched the whole thing lol I just forgot
@rocky Mountain ATV MC between Fox 2021 V2 helmet and Astars SM5 what would be the best option? Thank you, great work!
Personally, I would choose the M5 if it were me. It's lighter and more comfortable in my opinion. - Chase
Suomy!
