Would a youth helmet be ok?
« on: August 17, 2013, 07:16:11 PM »

Looking to get a masuri so i measured my head for sizing and around the top of my head above my ears measures 54cm.
The masuri website says that between 54cm to 57cm is actually youths sizes?
Would I be ok with getting a youth helmet, or should i get the standard mens size. Would save me a bit of money but don't want it being tiny on my head.

I have a youth helmet not masuri and it fits very snug. You ideally want to pop down to a shop and try it on.

All the shops local to me have closed down so I'm struggling to try one on.
The main thing i'm worried about is the helmet sitting too much on the top of my head and not covering my face/chin fully with the grill?

at least buy from someone with no quibble returns so at most you will only lose the postage.

Looking for a second hand one really because I don't use a helmet much.
Found a second hand one on eBay but its the youth size and I'm not 100% sure if it will fit or not.

You must have a sportsdirect at least somewhere around. I have seen them doing Masuri, so worth a try. Other than that mate, there is only one way to find out. Buy that helmet.

Got the helmet today, fits perfect.
So if anyone has a smaller head, save a bit of money and get a youth helmet haha.
