Caleb Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 It is very cheap etc , and the reason for me not getting has nothing to do with the quality of the product etc just that i don't like buying products from online shops, however might try blagging my mum into it on pay day lecturing her about the dangers of trials riding etc :)" . Also i wouldn't know what size to get even if i tried on similar helmets the sizes could be different unless they are adjustable which i think they might be :) . Good find though mate :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I still don't like those types of helmet. MTB ones all the way. Mind you if i was going to get one, that would be a good contender. :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desire68 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) I tried one and they come up VERY small.The XL wouldn't fit my big head Lol! The worst thing about the pro-tec is the foam lineing,it's just sooo hard.It has a really thin soft layer of foam on the outside of the lining but the lid comes up so small that all you end up feeling is the REALLY hard protective layer! I couldn't wear one so i got a Capix instead,same kind of style but MUCH more comfortable with two ply,semi hard protective foam,and a soft outer layer. Check them out www.capixco.com and they are a little cheaper than the Pro-tec too! Mike. Edited April 8, 2005 by desire68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I tried one and they come up VERY small. ← Good! I have a tsg, and its got the thickest padding in, but i can still get like my hand inside the side of it, and it looks so silly, like 3" or helmet shuck round the edge of my head. I seriously may get a pro-tec one, I'll see if I can try one on anywhere 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tod Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I bought an 'Aitken Ace' from custom riders in Large a week or so back, tryed that on, and it was wwaaayyyy too big around the sides, it was sticking off a good 2" if not more all the way around. Sent that one back and got the medium, and I didnt stand a cat in hell's chance of getting that on. Was way too small. I cant seem to find a lid anywhere that will fit to a sensible degree of 'un-stupidness' There either way too big around the sides or too tight front and back. Does anyone know anywhere that will custom fit lids? Or if anyone has the same problem, which brand did you go for? Ive tryed giro, TSG, and pro-tec so far and none came close. Cheers, sorry If I kinda hi-jacked the thread, just seemed simpler than making a new one. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I bought the cory nastazio version at the show and it fits like a glove. Don't even need the strap fastened cos it just won't come off. Looks good too with the black on black stickers. A bit hot but then this is trials - you can always stop and rest! Definite thumbs up from me :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
