Helmets

[carlosthejack...]

I've bought a new one. The one I had originally (a Takachi) I realised was waaay too big (an XXL) and I've bought an HJC in L. Only thing is it's squeezing my head every time I put it on. Not excessively but enough for me to notice it. Is the best way to bed it in to buy some paracetamol and just keep wearing it until it loosens off a bit?

Anyone want to buy a barely worn XXL Takachi? It's only had my sweaty head in it a couple of times...

If you need paracetamol then it's too tight. Send it back for a new one. By process of elimination you must be XL What HJC did you buy, I'm thinking about the CL-XS Vapour as they're very cheap on ebay at the moment.

Measure your head before buying a helmet. Loads of guides online about how to do it.
