New lid - TSG, Protec, 661? Which one?!!!

(1/2) > >>

garethgeezer:
Going to buy a TSG Evolution lid, but before I do.... does anyone have anything bad to say about them? What is the sizing like - my bonce measure just under 57cm so I'm not sure which size to get. Which design or colour would you go for (I like the matt black one as it's just like most of the cars I've owned!!)? Is the TSG Evo the one to get or should I consider good old Protec or the new 661 stuff?
Thanks all :)

TwoBobRob:
57 is generally regarded as medium, although sizing does vary a wee bit between manufacturers.

Are these all pisspot style lids you're looking at?  If so, they're all equally worthless in my opinion..... sorry!

Yeah mate, 'fraid so. Don't be sorry though, I hear what you're saying and you're damn right. I wear a full-face on my XJR so the thought of an open-face lid is a little scary, but I ride dirt and a bit of street and the full face just seems a bit 'OTT'.... until I fall off I guess, then I'll be wishing I'd listened to ya!

TwoBobRob:
Mate, just wear what you like. At the end of the day, if you prefer that style, then you're more likely to wear it and thats more important overall.  I just have a bit of a soapbox thing about skate lids - pay no attention to me!  :)

moley:
TSG Evolutions come in Small/Medium and Large/X Large

Each helmet comes with 2 different size padsets  (3 pads for each size.  Front&Side, back&Side, and a top of head Pad)

But the helmets are the same.  Its just the padsets which are different.

Head sizes are 54-56 is Small/Medium and 57-60 is Large/X Large.

I bought a Superlight Helmet in Large/XLarge and it wasn't quite right.

So I just bought a medium padset and I mixed all 3 padsets until I got the correct fit.

I think my bonce is a 56-57 which is borderline Medium - Large.

So dont worry about the sizing.  You can always buy some bigger or smaller pads and when those pads get old and smelly you can always buy replacements.

Small/Medium/Large/XLarge pads are £4.99 for each set. 

Any lid is better than no lid!!! :daumenhoch:
