Duncy H Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I think I am going to treat myslef to a new helmet soon seen as the one I like seems to be in the sale on crc... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=30316Now the thing is i am not sure what size to choose, my head measures just ever so slightly over 58cm so which would be best medium or large? Do helmets bed in i.e. expand when they are worn a few times? What do you think is best, a tight fitting helmet or a loose fitting? Anybody have any weird knowledge about this or any helmet which might help?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Get a large, I pretty sure they don't expand. And I think it's better if it's a tight fit, you don't really want the helmet to drop infront of your eyes do you when you are in the middle of something and can't see shit!I actually have the same helmet, large but that didn't fit my head but I just have an extra large head. I ended up shaving the inside walls out so it would fit . You should be fine though, unless you have a big head like me!

Duncy H Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks for the help so far, although weirdoku, your first post i am cofused by because you said get a large but you said it would be better to get a tight fitting helmet? Do you know how big your head is? As for colour I was going to go for a simple matt black. Do you know what size head you are, borat/jack??

I guess I just have a wider head than usual. Sorry, read the sizes again on CRC, you should get a medium. And what I meant by tight fitting is do the straps up tight. 58cm is within the medium size so you'll be able to do it up tight enough.
