Topic: Helmet sizing
My current helmet is a 2005, so it's time for replacement. I bought my existing helmet used from a teammate, so it was already "broken in". It's a Pyrotech, size large and it fits well. I'm not a huge guy, I'm 5'9" and about 170lbs. I didn't think I had a huge head, but apparently I do. I used the sizing chart and ordered a size large in this: http://www.saferacer.com/zamp-racing-rz … ng-helmet?
It was painfully small. As in crushing a grape. I called Saferacer and they said the Zamp sizing is a bit off, so I returned it for size XL which arrived today. It's a bit better, but instead of crushing a grape, it's now very firmly squeezing a grape. WTF?? Is my head really that big, or is Zamp sizing really that small? I know the helmet shouldn't be loose where my head can rattle around in it, but it shouldn't give me a headache. It seems to be squeezing in a lot of spots my old helmet didn't. I also need enough room to be able to use a hooded cool shirt like this. http://www.jegs.com/i/CoolShirt/114/CWH-XXL/10002/-1
Anyone else bought a new Zamp recently? Did the sizing seem way off to you?
