Ponytail-friendly Helmets?
Hello All, I'm pretty new to this site, so I might have missed a previously posted thread about this before. If so, could anyone post a link directing me to it.
But my question is "are there any helmets out there that are ponytail friendly?"
I can clarify further. I like to wear my hair up in a ponytail that sits around middle of the back of my head. My hair is extremely thick, and I have yet to find a helmet that allows me to wear my pony-tail where it feels most comfortable. I have a Specialized Echelon right now. It's a nice helmet and protects my noggin, but it forces my to wear my hair down really low, so much that sometimes I feel like my pony tail will come undone, and it just doesn't feel right to me. And, before anyone suggests it, I'm not used to wearing my hair without a ponytail - just doesn't feel right, to me.
Basically, I'm looking for a helmet that either has a really low profile adjuster in the back or the helmet adjuster has a big enough hole for me to pull all my hair through it.
I've tried all kinds of helmets, cheap and expensive, but I've really found one yet. Giro is the worst for my head. Louis Garneau seems to have potential. Also a company called Lazer seems to have potential, as it seems they place their adjuster on the top of the helmet.
Any thoughts? Help a sista out!
