It really depends on the size of his face, and the helmet size he's wearing. I would assume he'd be close to an adult size large.

I'm about the same and use an adult large/XL on my nat'l ski patrol winter helmet. The snaps will never line up with the different helmets (ISO 9000 anyone?). I detached the majority of my strap and attached it to motorcycle replacement buckles. If you can drill you own male end snaps you'll get a custom fit. Very comfortable chin cup. Has holes to drain sweat and does not absorb sweat. I also have one on my high angle technical rescue helmet. Saves my chin if I catch a wall.

Adult size, they are adjustable to get an exact fit but certainly adult size to order.

I would go with an adult size. One difference between youth and adult is the length of the straps. With an adult size you can shorten the straps, but you can't lengthen them on a youth size.

They have both kids and adult sizes. If the item does not specify a kids helmet it should be adult. They do, however, run small.

My son's head circumference is 20.5". I bought a size small and have it laced in the back all the way closed. This fits well on him and allows for growth. From USABarnettSports website (where I got sizing info. originally): Large 23.5" Medium 22.5" Small 21.5" X-Small 20.5" I interpreted the sizing to suggest that it was the largest head that would fit, and so I went up to the small (21.5") instead of the x-small (20.5").

Probably a large. My son is 6'3" and 230lbs ish and the extra large works for him. He just prefers to wear it a day and give out a break a day. You really feel the help in your posture.

It depends on her head circumference. My daughter at age 4 had a pretty large head..actually she was born with one ,13 !!!! Measure her head with a soft tape measure and use the size chart to pick. For a riding helmet , as long as it doesn't move up when she jumps up and down that's a good fit. These are adjustable too, so you if it's close, order up.

I purchased my 6 yr old girl a youth small, and it fits good. My son who is 8 has a youth medium, that I purchased from a different dealer. and it fits him great and his head size is definitley bigger than my daughters. hope this helps :)

I purchased these "Youth" helmets for my 10 year old twins... fit them perfectly, so not sure about fitting an adult.

Hello. 12 year old about 90lbs. I'd definitely go with a small. Or if they have extra small. The helmet needs to fit correctly to work properly. Also amazon had great return policies! And also make sure if the son is at the skatepark alone you check in and make sure he is wearing his helmet! I've seen kids wait until their parents are gone and take off their helmets. I fractured my skull not wearing a helmet. Hope this helps :)!

Jersey does not fit my 12 year old. He isn't interested in wearing the helmet either b/c it is a toy...it is an extremely uncomfortable tight fit for him. My 6 year old on the other hand wears it as much as he can...but only when he is pretending to be in a real game. REMEMBER is is a TOY. NOT a real usable helmet. My 6 yr old still fits the jersey as well.

Most adults wear a large if your around 5'9" or above I would go with a large or x - large the smaller ones are more for teens and kids . Hope this helps.

I have bought 3 helmets. In all three cases, I had to do some homework. Go to the manufacturer's website and get the sizing. Then have someone help you measure your head. It's always better to go a little bigger as long as it is adjustable in the back and there is an adjustable chin strap. Don't just think it will say men's women's or children's. I bought my then 11 yr old son a men small that fit him perfect.

Question unclear. Did you mean to say would any size "work" for a 14 year old? I'm 6-3 200 pounds and an XL is big enough for me. I would think a medium would fit many 14 year olds.

This item does not come in youth sizes, it is only availble in adult sizes. Below is a sizing chart to assist you better.S (27" - 29")M (30" - 32")L (33"-35")XL (36"-39")XXL (40"-44")

I bought a medium and a large helmet. My head measures 52 cm so I wear the medium helmet but I wish I had purchased a small. These helmets seem to run a little big. I suggest a medium. You want it to fit tight.

My 7 year old head is on the small side and this is way too big/loose for him. I would think the adult size is still too loose even for the biggest headed 6-7 year old. But the youth may be too small. I've not seen the youth so I can't say.

Thanks Jose! I will check on the other helmets with sizing features. This helps a lot!

What age is the person who will be using the Full 90? If it's a pre-teen/younger teenager, I would go with the large because they will grow into it. But you certainly want it to fit snug. like other protective gear you want it to stay in place - in the right place!
