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.
