    How big around is your head SK?

    I like the Skyla very much. And it will take a beating.



    I had this one all of two days. Luckily, when I bought it, I bought two. They replaced my beloved pink Skyla that had to be replaced after an endo. Not sure I hit my head... but taking no chances.

    It is a little noisy when descending above 40 mph.

    Yes, I do plan on trying them on before anything else. I just wanted to know if any buyers had any problems with them. It's always good to hear from others.

    Big thank yous for prompt replies

    I really like the turn buckle fit adjustment. I can adjust the snugness on the ride. The Bell is definitely for round and pointy heads. Giro's have a ridge across the top that hurts me. However, Bighead Bubba loves Giro but he has a narrow head that is long front to back, and top to bottom, and full of hot air.

    I have a relatively narrow head and I found the Bell Sweep R in Medium fits me really well and has awesome air flow. The women's helmets don't fit me well so definately go try them on. I work for a LBS and have tried on probably every helmet in our store before coming to the conclusion that the Sweep was the best fit. It looks pretty cool too!
