How to measure
Application
Used in helmet visor and face shield design to ensure adequate clearance between the nose and the interior of the shield.
Posture
Head level, looking straight ahead.
Landmark
Measured horizontally from the tip of the nose to the most rearward point of the skull.
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should locate the rearmost skull point and hold the tape end in place.
Common mistake
Tilting the head up raises the nose tip and inflates the result. Keep the head level throughout.
