The Biltwell Lane Splitter is a retro-styled full-face helmet known for its unique 'split' design that allows the chin bar to be removed. It features a distinctively rounded head shape (often described as 'American football' or 'round') which may not fit all head shapes comfortably, particularly those with high foreheads or narrow chins.

How to measure

Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, and repeat for consistency.
