The old George Whites isnt worth the time of day. I'd try Fowlers lots of choice and really helpful staff who can ensure it fits properly.

If you want to try the Harley Dealers in Cheltenham/Oxford they will most likely stock Davida open face plus others.
Not sure I have heard of slimfit before.
Know of a few fatheads mind ::)

Never been there myself and no idea if it's any good but their is Helmet City in West Bay (nice place to ride to) which might be worth checking out too?

Riders in Brislington cater for people going through a midlife crisis and sell all the kit to go with it. You could try them. ;)

Wow that was good - you've had much more luck than me. The last few times I've been in there it's just be odd sized stuff which has been sat on the shelf for ages. My OH tried to get some trousers there too recently and gave up. I guess worth a try as you say if you're close but personally I wouldn't make a special trip.

I'd go for a Davida helmet. they do very nice open face helmets, but not cheep. Take a look at their website. Blade group sell them as well. I'm thinking of getting one for myself.
