[QUOTE="mikal, post: 1248045, member: 82536"] Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I've recently had the need to buy a helmet because all the little spots that only a few people know about, are actually being claimed by city expansion, new suburbs, etc., and I need to be safe to be able to ride in the designated bike parks. Well, I recently went for a o'neil helmet, and o'neil only goes up to XXL helmet size. Now, when I measured my head, I repeatedly come up with 24 3/4 (this is the XXL o'neil sizing guide). Well, my cheak padding is fully compressed, AND I had to remove the inner liner, and press really hard on the foam near my brow to 'form' it as it was pressing very tightly just below my hair line. When I put the thing on, I realize that it will eventually 'mold' to my head, but the dang thing just looks sooo freakin small on my head. I'm not overweight, I'm just a really big guy, that has always exhibited problems like this growing up in life... (breaking chairs, size 15 boots, etc.) 1st question... Are you going to snicker at me when I'm not looking because I look so funny? 2nd question... any other draw backs to having this small azz helmet? I'm thinking that I'll ride with it a few times, if it doesn't work, I'll have to spend a little more and get a larger helmet with a different brand name that has an even larger head size. thoughts?
