Love getting new stuff...
« on: February 16, 2018, 11:21:11 PM »
What did the big brown truck drop off today...





Just what I needed!  Size 2XL for this Easter Island sized noggin.  ;D

Thanks! My first full-face... thought it might be hard to get used to, coming from a half-helmet, but so far, so good!

Curious. ....did you trial fit various helmets - then settle on this model Bell - before ordering it from a supplier?

Nice lid! [emoji106]
I have always had full face helmets, and both times I had to "use" it it was hit and scratched on the chin.

Oh yeah, I spent a couple of days trying on helmets at different places... finally landed on the Bell Qualifier at my local Cycle Gear... just a combination of comfort, visibility and the ability to wear my glasses under it. (Had a guy at one place suggest I switch to contacts to make his helmet work.  ::) )
The one I tried was XL, but I knew if I was going to wear it for more than a minute, I would have to order an XXL.

Good for you!
It takes time to find the right helmet, doesn't it? !
I wanted to buy the helmet from my local dealer - but the two sales ladies were, by turns - rude and impatient. I wear glasses and have a giant head (xxxxl -HJC ; xxxl - Nolan)
The final bullet was, "after all, it's just a scooter! "
I gave my $$ elsewhere.

Incredible. I would've been laughing all the way out the door.

Also: 4X?? That must be fun to find.
