With my Christmas pennys i am going to treat myself to a 661 Strike helmet but looking at the size charts my head size (58cm) is in between sizes. Do i go for the 56 - 58 size or 58-60? i would go and try them in a shop but none of my local bike shops have them! help before i piss the money up the wall.
Will swap family and friends for a 1993 Klien Attitude.

    Best to err on the size of larger and use pads. But hard to say.

    Maybe choose a helmet you can try?

    I was in a similar situation as year a few months ago but I was in a cycle surgery shop when buying mine. Head measured and the correct size got but it was a case of it sat on my head reather than my head in it. The next size up was a much better fit, so my answer would be if you are near the top of the sizing band go up to the next.

    Definitely go bigger. If it's a bit too big you can grow your hair.
