Does your Helmet fit properly ?

[igbell]

I have a Shoei and I wore that lid in the shop for over 20mins to make sure it was the one, after getting the low down from Ride mag about best lids for the price and sound and such like.

My wife bought the same lid and had issues with it and I had to crush the front on the forehead as this always gave her a red forehead and a headache.

Nice to know theres places that refund helmets cos someone can't measure their head - or another way is selling helmets someone could have damaged - suppose theres different rules for internet sales but if its protecting my bonce I want the best fit and only 1 way for that is to try it on[/quote]


Looks like George Whites aint the place to buy a helmet from then!!! ;D[/quote]

Not if your a dickhead and don't try stuff on properly! Thats why GW's staff are trained by the manufacturer of each helmet to ensure they can advise etc

Buying a helmet isn't like buying a pair of trainers - its your personal safety equipment - put it bluntly I don't care if yours don't fit properly or is uncomfortable as I know mine does and it's comfy offering me the best protection

I hope this isn't the attitude of all the sales people down GW, as the after sales service must be awful!!!

Yeh, definately sounds like a tight helmet sx! Have you tried a few days without wearing one to see If the headaches stop? Also try a head massager to relieve tense scalp! Just my pennies worth! :-/ [smiley=happy.gif]
