Blake Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hey guys, I got a giro hex not too long ago in a medium size and it fit fairly well when I got it. However over time where my hair has been growing longer it's starting to get a bit tight and I wish I went for the large one. Basically want to know if there's a safe way to cut away some of the material on the inside to increase my head room? or is there no point? Thanks, George x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialarn Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Ask Sean Watson he may build an cap Helmut snapback haha Na seriously is the Helmut to short or low? Try to take it off inside to it fits you, and then you may can put something between the Shell and the styrofoam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I feel like the inside should be larger, it's a bit tight to get on my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I had the problem the other way, got a haircut after buying a helmet. Just get a haircut it may save your life.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Grow your hair until you don't need a helmet at all? I'd seriously invest in a new large helmet, it simply isn't worth trying to modify your current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
