Ok, so am I the only one who has a teeny tiny pinhead? I have a small Giro helmet, but it's never been comfortable. From watching the tour, I figured out that it's too big. But there's nothing small I know of (other than going to an ugly kids' size helmet). Any suggestions?

Have you tried women's - sized helmets? I think there's at least one maker that has women's helmets in S/M/L. Unless you're already wearing a women's S.
Some of the kid's helmets are kind of cute

I wear a small and have extra pads placed in the necessary places. For me this worked.
If it makes you feel any better when we did a story about one of the rides around here we made the news reporter wear my road helmet (I was wearing my mountain bike helmet)-and it FIT!!
Now, this guy was like 6'4!
We are NOT alone!
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

'Nother pinhead reporting in
Get on Giro's website and check the actual sizing of your helmet in centimeters or inches then compare to other helmets. I have an E2 from a couple years ago that says XXS/XS. I'm not sure if they still make the smaller helmets using this sizing system, but you really need to know the actual inches or centimeters to compare sizes in your search.
Bubba has the opposite problem and if he ever cracks his current helmet, he'll have to stop riding. I have no clue what we're going to do because Giro doesn't make the really big ones any longer.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Oops, one other thing. The RocLoc 3 or 4 or whatever that are in the Giro E2 and the Havoc seem to adjust better to my itsy-bitsy head.
I just looked at the Havoc and is size it is a size S and 52-56 cm, but again it is a 2001 model. I think Giro changes their sizing from year to year so you need to know the centimeters.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Bubba can crack his helmet, Giro's sizing in the gender neutral helmets has gotten huge! I have a big fat head, so my cowboy hats and helmets look sooooo out of proportion to my face. Anyway, when I cracked my last helmet trying to show off, I was pleased that the Giro Animas actually fit me in *gasp* a medium. Bill says they're sizing them a lot bigger now. Anyway, I'm sure there are bigger noggins than mine, but considering my hat is a 7 3/8 - 7 1/2 depending on brand, there's not much.
