    Arrow any one solve this problem?

    I own a shoei 1000 helmet but after only and hour of having it on my head gets really itchy - no its not nits! It really drives me mad as I have to stop my ride and scratch my head. It helmet fits well except that from the top of my head to the top of the helmet there is a bit of space causing the lining to rub on my scalp. Any idea of how I can solve this one??????? Please

    Is this the first helmet you've owned?

    Grow a bigger head? Dunno, did you notice fitting problems when you bought it? I can imagine this would be a real pain in the backside, and especially when you spend good coin on something thats not quite right! Sorry, no useful suggestions here

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    It doesn't sound like a fitting problem. Try getting some hygenic hair nets from NZ Safety or Protector safety. They're very thin and may help if your scalp is reacting to the lining.

    Is it a short hair thing? I mean I have a buzz cut (No. 0) and when it starts to grow the bristles get a little itchy when I ride - but then I just go home and cut off what's grown. Could be an allergic thing tho'? What's the lining made of? If it's synthetic that could be the problem - quite common apparently.

    That's an idea, I'll try that.

    I'm surprised you're still here - she hasn't dragged you out the door to ride yet??? Oh right, she's already gone....

    You could try a silk/thin balaclava(sp?), i've just bought one recently for $14 from the local bike shop, also bloody good for keeping the neck warm during those cold mornings.
