Don't worry about what's written on the lid or box: try it on. They're all slightly different. And ask around, some loosen up more than others. Too loose is not good....

Just try some on. A bit like clothes, they may say they are a particular size but they all fit differently Some are tight fitting and others are looser.

To quote someones else post click on this: bottom right hand corner of their post.

Best and safest go to one of the dealers I showed you the links to yesterday. TRY IT ON before buying.

Personal view. Never ever buy a second hand helmet! You do not know the history. It could have been dropped.

Buy a new own that's properly fitted.

Hi Purple

Welcome to the forum!!

New helmets are available for £55 - without going for second hand? Have a look here less than £40??

Hi Purple,

As Roger said, buying a used helmet is a big risk - There are loads of people doing bargain helmets now, J&S in Leeds, Heine Gericke (one in Leeds & Bradford).

Where abouts are you?
