How to Measure Your Head's Arc to Know Which ShotShield to Order

Important Note Before Measuring Most people's heads reach nearly full adult size by around age 10, with very little growth after that.

ALWAYS order based on your actual Arc measurement for the best fit.

The Head Arc (Sagittal Arc) is the curved distance over the top of your head from just above the eyebrows to the back the protruding bump at the base of the skull. This measurement ensures a proper front-to-back fit for the ShotShield Impact Cushion.

What You'll Need:

  • A flexible tape measure (or a piece of string + ruler).

Quick Steps:

  1. Stand straight and look forward.

  2. Place the tape end in the center of your forehead, just above your eyebrows.

  3. Run the tape straight back over the top of your head (keep it centered).

  4. Stop at the most protruding bump on the back of your skull (Where it meets the neck.)

  5. Keep the tape snug but comfortable—follow the curve.

  6. Record the length in inches.

Tips:

If measurement is on the border, decide if you'd prefer a larger or smaller forehead pad.

You can trim up to 1/2" off the neck area if it's a bit long with scissors if needed.

Measure twice to be sure—then pick your size!

***Everyone's head is shaped different, your head shape and strap adjustments will effect how much of the forehead is covered by the ShotShield.***
