Large road helmets

[speccy1]

What`s about? Anybody got one to sell on?

Looking to spend about £40 and happy to pay postage. Thanks

Not convinced I'd buy a second hand helmet, as wouldn't be sure if it was still sound..or is that paranoia?

I'm not so sure there are any helmets just for large roads.

Most manufacturers say the helmets only work for 3 years or so. Try a US manufacturer like Bell because they often do larger sizes - assuming this is to meet some competition rules. See www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-cyclechat-great-helmet-debate.187059/ otherwise.

That and they can often be sweaty and stinky! Plenty of new options for around £40

Couldn't find anything suitable at the Cycle Show (I've got a big head too!) so in desperation headed for Halfords. Tried several helmets on and the only one I found that felt comfortable and big enough was this http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bik...-indicator-bike-helmet-white-titanium-54-61cm
Maybe worth a look?

Bit over budget (includes delivery and free returns). comes in a 59-62cm option and lots of colours http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kask-rapido-helmet/

I use the Giro Indicator for my commuting helmet and getting on quite well with it. Chin strap becomes a bit loose every now and again, but I find that with every helmet

Bargain! Thanks Vickster, they are a nice lid too, think I`ll have one

@speccy1 if you've not already ordered, they also have this at 60% off albeit limited colours in large

It is certainly good advice never to buy a second hand helmet
