Simpson, Bell, Bieffe helmets

[Dave Hord]

Taka,

You 100% should try on a helmet before you buy it...but you don't necessarily
need to try on _THE_ helmet you're going to buy.

Huh?

All manufactuers build there helmets to a certain 'head mold', or head shape.
And, if your head fits one of their helmets, your 90% guaranteed to fit in
another one of their helmets of the same size.

For instance...I have a "Bell Head".  I fit into a Medium or medium large
(depending on how they are breaking down sizes that model year) bell helmet. I
own four bicycle helmets, a motorcycle helmet (Fox...made by bell), and soon an
automotive helmet.  I can walk into any store, pick the right size bell..and it
fits.

My navigator, Mike, does NOT have a bell head.  He can't fit into ANY bell...

So my suggestion is this: Go to the motorcycle shop, try on a Bell and a Bieffe
helmet, and see if they fit well. If they do...your gamble on ordering an
automotive helmet made by the same company (without trying it on) is MUCH
smaller.

JMO, YEMD, INR.
