Im in between helmet sizes?
Quote | Reply
I did a search on this but didn't find much. I'm in the market for a new helmet, currently looking at the evade. My noggin is kind of small, I tried on the medium and tightened it down but overall it still felt a bit bigger than it should be for my head. I tried on the small and it fits and feels good except two small contact points on both sides of my head where it feels a bit snug. Sizing chart says small 20"-22 1/2", medium is 21 1/4-23 1/2" my noggin is 22 1/4.

Wondering if others have this issue, thought about going with the small and just modifying the two spots that are in question on my lumpy head. Thoughts on this?

Any particular reason you're set on the evade?

Get the medium or look for a helmet shaped to fit your head better. Snug turns into throbbing headache over a long ride.

not set on it, it was the only helmet my local shop had in stock that I was interested in the other day when I went in. Just getting back into training and racing and looking to buy a few new items.

Different brands may fit differently. For me Bell/Specialized fit better than Giro for the same sizes the last time I tried them. You'll have to find a shop that has different models/sizes/brands. Also some models may have different sets of pads you can change out.

Unfortunately, I like the way the Evade looks and went to the local store to try one on and it just doesn't fit right....Seems like the fit was too narrow for my head and the next size up was huge... Some brands are just not for some heads

I had the exact same problem with the fit of the Evade.

What did you end up going with that had a better fit? Guess I need to take a drive to find other options
