Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I suspect helmet sizes are sort of like any other piece of clothing, the actual size on the sticker is not consistent between manufacturers. Unfortunately, I just learned this the hard way with this helmet. At least it was on sale.
I picked up the XX-Large Helmet here on sale. I can normally wear an X-Large helmet, but the XX feels a bit more comfortable. My thinking was that I'd rather it be too large than too small.
However, even picking one size over what I can wear at a minimum, this was far too small. Compared to other helmets I've put on (not a large number, mind you), this one feels about like a Large, not even an X-Large. Essentially, it's about 2 sizes too small. I don't know that this was intentional or just poor design, but my impression is the latter, as the box was marked properly and the helmet fit in the box just right.
Additionally, it's not very padded inside and has pressure points. Definitely not what I was looking for in a helmet. It looks good, nothing special. The face shield is nice and is detachable, with some effort (again, good). Aside from the wrong sizing and the lack of proper padding, this is actually a pretty reasonable helmet. I'm keeping it around as a spare for someone with microcephaly, but it won't work on my noggin.
Still searching for the correct helmet. Oh, well.
