Guest Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well, as per the recent "Helmet Retailers" thread by my mate Edgey, we went down to J&S in Northwich on friday. I tried on all the XXLs and just couldn't get them on! We got the guy over, he found me one (JUST ONE!) that i could get on, felt a bit tight still, but suppose it should do as its new. Anyways, its a Marushin lid, and the guy told me that they make the biggest lids below £100, he says the only manufacturers to make 3XL, are Shoei.Is this correct? BTW, the helmet i found is a Marushin Samura black/blue XXL. I looked for the helmet on the J&S website and it doesnt exist! So i looked on eBay, couldn't find the exact one, but found these, and im not sure if i should risk it or not, they say they wont accept returns for health and safety reasons, and i'm not looking to waste £60-£100.These are what i like;http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MARUSHIN-STORM-HE ... 439ab35397http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MARUSHIN-TIGER-WH ... 439ab38fd8If anyone has any ideas, please shout out! I have my CBT on saturday (the 7th) and they might not have a helmet that fits i think Which would obviously be devastating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scores the max 5 stars on the Sharp test http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/search/results/?sort=manufacturer&dir=asc&manufacturer=28&model=a729965cfe73fa0a7b4c1fcc32aed706&type=0&rating=0&size=0&price=0&x=25&y=2So it should be safe enough. http://www.youtube.com/marushintv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks Bogof, but i was talking more about risking the waste of money if it arrives and doesnt fit. I cant be arsed driving all the way up to J&S again to buy the exact one lols, would rather buy online, just annoying i can't find the exact one!

Colin the Bear Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 My advice would be toNever buy a helmet without trying it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
