carpmart Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hi Chaps Anyone else got an oversized noggin like me? Where did you purchase your helmet from? I actually fit my off road helmet quite well which is XXL but a particularly large XXL as every other XXL helmet I have tried has been too small. I am actually likely to have to order one from the US but I am not sure of VAT and import duties that get applied, does anyone know the extra cost of these taxes? Anyone know a good oversized helmet supplier? Thanks in advance for your help! Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owjay Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've got quite a large bonce. My helmet's a 64cm size 8 Simpson helmet. Got it from GrandPrixRacewear in Chiswick (also in Silverstone) off of a shelf! Was a fluke they had one so big in stock, but they will order ones in. Simpson is a yank manufacturer, and mine was quite a few quid, but its a fairly topendish model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I also went to GPR and only 'just' fitted into the largest Helmet they had, an OMP, which thankfully was the right side of £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Dinnim Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Try a lot of different makes as their sizes will vary. I could never fit AGV helmets in their largest size but used to wear a large Dainese. The openings will vary. The thing about buying a helmet before checking the fit is that you may not get a helmet that fits properly which is almost as dangerous as not having one on at all.

wonkey eyed barmaid Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 try www.oxprod.com and take a look at the HJC helmet range. they make harley-davidson's helmets for them, and the ones we have at work come in some pretty big sizes. remember that bike helmets and car helmets vary in thier testing standards - so if you plan to use this helmet for motorsport, you are going to need a car helmet.

wonkey eyed barmaid Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 just had a look at the helmets we have in stock... the harley-davidson flip-front helmets [made by HJC] come in sizes XS through to XL. XL is marked as a 62. thats 62cm round the head, above the ears i believe. interestingly, the older design helmets we still have from a few years ago, and just keep for use on very busy days, go up to XXL - but these are made by AGV maybe the AGV range is therefore worth a look. dont mail order a helmet. bad idea. the most important thing about helmet's are that they fit properly/comfortably. dont buy what you cant try. if you are coming to Llandow this Sunday I can bring a couple along if it helps? grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
