I can't find a helmet to fit

[_AmyBaxter]

Having trouble with my helmet fitting I've tried loads just not fit right just going up with the silky I have to wear my ear defenders to keep my helmet on its annoying! I've got the petzl vent one. Is there any other helmets that are smaller out there?

Go for a Stein helmet Amy, that one will fit I can assure you:)

Kong hemits adjust to small sizes but, have you added the extra padding pieces to your petzl which are designed to make it smaller, cheaper than a new helmit!

Black Diamond's Half Dome climbing helmet is great. Feels much lighter and smaller than the Petzl jobby. The Petzl one feels like its sitting too high on my head. The Black Diamond fits snugly, I've never found a better helmet, and people always comment on how nice and light it feels.

Protos? I don't know how small it goes but it's comfy and better ventilated than any other.

Al...I have been wondering about Protos lids for a year or do now..tried one at the APF....loved it straight away...super comfy fit...ergonomic shape...hi viz colouring...liked them even more this yesr at the Arb show when I saw the new funky colours they were available in and the discussion I had with the salesman about them....but......yards after leaving the Pfanner tent I bumped into a mate who had been given one to use for a couple of days for his climbing technique demo's...he is someone who's knowledge and skill I trust very much......he ssid the were cheap rbbish (overpriced) and the ear defenders were the worst (noise cancelling) he'd EVER used....Al, what's going on?.......talk to me!

I like my Stein, however the noise cancelling problem i have is not due to the ear defenders themselves, it's just the fact that they don't fit snuggly over the ears due to the chinstrap (the thing that keeps it on my head:blushing:)

If you look at the frame of the helmet there is a soft band,this is removable. take it off, then take some material fold it so it fits in the band then replace the band. I think you will find that it fits and you then can adjust the frame to fit'

I am not joking ask your grand parents this is how they used to make hats fit by packing the band inside the hat. I have a pretzel it worked for me.

The petzl helmets normally come with a new hygiene band. This is thicker than the one that is intially fitted. Just swap them over. 1 minute job, saves yer £'s

Thanks everyone I will try fitting the extra band I got with it I've even tried changing my hairstyles to see if that helped
