New helmet time. I am not sure if my head has changed shape or it has been the recent heat but none of the current helmets seem to fit 100%. I have a more rounder head so struggle with helmets on the width, they always have plenty of room at the front and back. Another thing is I am sick of paying a lot of money for helmets and they don't look or feel any better than the main brands cheaper / budget range. After trying quite a few on over the last few months I found that the cheaper the helmet the wider they tended to be for some reason. I was down in Darlo (Darlington) last Saturday for the car show and some shopping so called into Wheelbase. They had a small but good range of road helmets from various brands inc KASK which I already have which I bought years ago. I opted for the Sintesi model rrp £90 but there was another one for £130 which felt the same on my head tbh. Dave Robinson (former Infinity Cycles owner) was in so I asked for some discount and he gave me 10% which took it down to £81, same as Merlin Cycles etc.
Again more on this in a Fresh Goods Sunday after a few more hours plonked on top of my head!
