  • Full face – how should they fit?

    Like your girlfriend or your wife? :0

    OK, joking aside – how should they fit – snuggly or a bit loose?

    Snuggly, pointless otherwise

    So if I'm inbetween sizes – go for smaller on the principle that it'll mould to my head (That's Mould not mold)

    I would generally. The linings tend to relax slightly over time and the helmet gets a little looser.

    If you are in-between sizes, try a different make.

    They should be tight.

    my first one i was inbetween on the helmet i liked, chose the bigger one but it always felt too loose, ended up getting another one of a different make but it should feel almost uncomfortable in the shop, especially if you're not used to a full face.

    A bit of advice I was given was to try to shake your head with the helmet on without doing the strap up. The helmet should not rattle around on your head. If it stays put, then it's probably good. If you end up looking at the side of the helmet then its probably too large!

    Just ordered one from Rutland Cycles. Should fit as I've gone for the size closest to my head size.

    This is good advice also if the strap is done up and yo grab the back of the helmet and pull it forward with your head bent forward it should not come off or even come close to coming off.

    RS -well thats just being a c**t then. What are you going to do when there are no LBS left?

    Absolute shite for doing that. Why are LBS more expensive than online? 'cos they have overheads of premises and a shop. Want to use their facilities – pay for them.
