I can't find a helmet to fit

Yep get a stein. There lovely. Specialy in the luminous yellow I have.

As someone already said the thicker band you get with the helmet should do the job.

 

If you can't find it call into the shop as I will have a spare one I can sort you out with.

if there's a rock climbing centre/shop near you have a venture in, they do pretty small helmets. then you just need to add ear muffs and visor

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!

 

 

It's just different points of view Paul but I'll comment on the points raised.

 

They cancel the noise just fine but you can get big muffs that cancel more noise.

I have not noticed anything cheap about it but let's see how it looks after five years.

It's as comfy as the Vertex Vent, on my head.

It doesn't ever get snagged by twigs while climbing.

It's better ventilated than any other helmet on the market.

I feel it's overpriced by about £30 but am still happy to pay more as the ventilation is better.

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:)

I'm in the same boat as you , no matter how much you play around with them , they don't fit right.
