Helmet Headache

[Aggie_Ama]

Glad you've resolved the headaches. I had a lot of issues when I wore a Giro helmet, I ended up having to sell it after a month. My head only seems happy in Bell so now I just stick with them, unless I find out they make some major change to their shape. Giros I think are less round than Bell, I had *assumed* since I thought they were manufactured very similar it wouldn't matter. I didn't realize they had slight variations in shape.

I have recently found that sticking with the same brand doesn't guarantee a good fit...I previously had a Bell helmet that I liked and never had any problem with the fit. Decided that after 6 years of wearing that one I probably should replace it so got another Bell that appeared to be the same shape and size (different model--the one I had before was discontinued). This new one gives me a headache! The only big difference I can see is in the fit system--the old one (Deuce) had one type of ring-fit, the new one (Muni) has a different one that isn't as finely adjustable, and also has a rear stabilizer that comes down much lower on the back of the head. I think it's the rear stabilizer that is the problem--it puts pressure in a bad spot.
