stiffnips Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi there, i am having a little trouble finding a helmet that fits me. Well it fits but it looks like it sits way too high on my head :$ so far i have tryed two helmets one was a Giro havoc and the other was a Giro animas 2003 both of these looked like they sat too high. I was just wondering if anyone else had this and what helmet sorted it out for them.Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 My xen fits VERY nicely, but sits high on my head, i think its a giro helmet thing. Possibely something to do with ventelation? Giving your head abit more space to breath?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Tom's right, all Giro helmets sit a bit high. I tried loads of helmets from different manufacturers before deciding to get my E2 and found that Bell helmets sat the lowest and looked a better fit but were actually quite uncomfortable. Met helmets also sit lower than Giros but again I couldn't find one as comfortable as the E2. You're best off trying some other manufacturers, different makes seem to fit some people better than others. Don't be sucked in to looking good though, remember the helmet is to save your life, it's a bonus if you can look good wearing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 You need to try more on that just Giros. I have always tried Giros on and thought the same. They never fitted particularly well, and looked like they were really high. If they don't fit properly (i.e. they move), then try another helmet/brand. I found that piss-pots fit much better, so I bought one. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 aye pisspots seem great. i got 1 recently and its fantastic to ride in, dont move at all very comfy and get a TSG evolotion because the fits really close on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooore! Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 yep, most giro's = too high on the head. Bell are usually good for people with awkward shaped heads and i've always found that a cratoni maniac sits pretty well on my bonce. So well that i've had 3.
