The "white elephant in the room" that few manufacturers address is the shape of your head. So while someone may fit within a certain range of inches, if the shape is wrong, like an oval or narrow head shape in a round shaped helmet, it won't fit right. The plastic fit systems are supposed to compensate for that can only do so much if the shape isn't right. I only wore a helmet for a brief time and researched the best ones for my head shape and found one easily that way.
I found this review from Outdoor Gear Lab of helmets including Thousand. If I did wear a helmet I wouldn't wear that brand as it would be entirely too hot for my noggin. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/biking/best-budget-bike-helmet On Monday, December 13, 2021 at 2:32:59 PM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote: > Not that we're having a "which helmet should I buy" discussion, but if the > Riv one is too small my fat head is happy with the large Kasik Mojito. > > Joe Bernard > > On Monday, December 13, 2021 at 5:57:20 AM UTC-8 Doug H. wrote: > >> This may be a taboo subject but I have looked in the past for a helmet on >> the Rivendell website to no avail.
