helmet fitting

One thing that I have got (and it fits!) is a new open faced Davida helmet. I just couldn't put up with the Classic Jet I have been wearing for the past twelve months. It was a nightmare to put on and take off and wasn't too comfortable when I was wearing it either.

I have gone for a speedster which is almost as well made as the Jet but doesn't meet the same safety standards. I'm sure it was sold as meeting Nordic safety standards as recently as last year but now the sellers don't mention them at all.

The jet was an XL and was a tight fit in some places, around my upper jaw and the back of my head. It was also very loose aroung the temple and would slip down causing pain in the back of my neck.

The Speedster is a large which is the size I would normally take and it was also ordered according to my actual head measurements (60cm).

The cool thing about it is that I no longer look like a spaceman wearing it!

Now I just need a jacket.
