How does your helmet fit?

lappymatt

Tried a few helmets now and they all seem to sit really high on my noggin, leaving a gap between my ears and start of helmet. Surely this is no good? I want one to fit snug! Im still looking....

How does yours fit and is the gap a problem do you think?


Mine sits like this:




I want it like this:

Try a bigger one

as above you either have the wrong size or it has not been adjusted correctly.

Ok so the consensus is that a helmet should fit snug with no gap above ears?

You want just enough room for the arms of your glasses!

I tried on a bunch of "enduro" style lids recently and even the brands that I normally consider my go to brands felt very odd and looked weird too.

But not as weird as you look in that pic.

Probably more to do with the shape of your noggin. I'm looking for an enduro helmet myself.
Unfortunately I have a head that shaped like a giant f-ing honeydew melon, so Urge helmets just won't fit.

I usually have to stick with anything by Giro, but have found that Troy Lee A1s also fit.
(POC too, but the 'inner' is too thick to take the attachment for my head torch.)

Trying 3 on later(2 types, 3 diff sizes), a 661 stealth, and a giro feature

And Paul, that isn't me in the picture lol - google images find.
