    I always thought I had a Giro head, but they discontinued my size, s/m. The S is too small and M is too big. So, I recently got the lazer genesis (size XS/M) and it fits great. It has this really nice adjustable system that you dial in from the top to a really snug comfortable fit on many different heads, and its very pony tail friendly (sits above the ponytail so you don't have to stick it through anything). I like that its easy to adjust with different layers underneath. I am really happy with mine, and got it on sale last year.

    I have no idea what size or shape my head is. Get the helmet that fits you the best and has features that you value (lots of vents/few vents, adjustable in back, ponytail space, etc.) Try on a bunch and go with the one that's best for you. That one for me is Bell Ghisallo, but that's just me.

    I wear a specialized helmet, its really light and I love it. I never get neck pain or anything from wearing it to long. I'd definately buy the same helmet again if I needed a new one!

    Hope this helps!

    Second the Specialized. Both DH and I have the Specialized M1. Giro does not fit my head at all, it puts a pressure point on my forehead. As everyone else has mentioned, you just need to try them on and see which fits best for your head. Good luck

    I've been wearing Giro Pneumos for years. They fit me well. I tried the Giro Atmos last year and it didn't feel right, so I got another Pnemo instead.

    For me, it's worth the extra money to get one that has lots of vents.
