Helmet - those with big bonses take note.

If, like me, you have a massive bonce and frankly look stupid with a standard road or MTB lid on - I have some good news.

I have just bought the the F14 helmet from THE Industries.

The design, with an extended rear section, totally changes the look of the helmet in comparison to a standard lid. Without the visor fitted it looks a lot like a street/skate lid but with the normal venting you'd expect in a standard mtb/road helmet. It actually makes my 61cm head look small ! The F14 XL is for sizes 60-62cm and it comes with a set of thicker liners to give you fitting options.

It is the only cycle helmet I have ever tried on that did not make me look an arse.

I have worn the helmet a few times now and have no complaints.
You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

  • Im in the same boat at about 60cm, so appreciate the heads-up (no pun intended ;) )
