Corey Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I just remembered something: Try to find a Protec helmet. They only touched the sides of my fairly round head, there was TONS of room front to back. The Giro I chose was very suitable for my head shape.

Buell Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Louis, I have the same issues with helmets as you. Most helmets hit at the front and the back with lots of room on the sides. I had a pile of about 15 helmets at the shop when I was trying them on a couple of years ago, and the only helmet that worked for me (of the ones I tried) was the Giro G10. Good luck, keep trying them on. Buell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikerdad Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Someone needs to make a helmet with a liner made out of the same stuff as the thermoflex boot liners. Put it in the oven for awhile, pull it out and clamp it on your bean until it cools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 That would be really cool Tinkerdad, I bet it would sell alot too, now the outershell of the liner need to stay in place, and the material needs to be somehow stiff, I bet its doable !!

skipuppy Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I refused to buy a helmet that didn't fit me and it took a while for me to be happy enough to commit to one. After I found it though at least I knew what I was looking for next time around- stuck with the same brand, carrera. I used to wear a full fask mask under the helmet but there was really no need. Now I wear a half mask that goes around my neck and came with my jacket and that with the goggles and helmet keeps my face and head warm at all times and in all conditions. What are full face helmets designed for? I never really thought they were designed for people face-planting, rather for people running into things like race gates.

xxguitarist Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Looking for some help with helmets, I'll be hitting the real mountains some this year & figure I should be responsible here. My head is pretty big, the only helmet I've worn with complete sucuess is the specialized M1 bike helmet.. the styrofoam lined pro-tec required some modification on the sides of my head near the top, somewhere over my ears- guess its a little wide. Anyone know how those POCs fit? Giros? etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
