Why do elephants have big ears? *

[Hitcher]

Well. What next. A manufacturer other than Shoei makes a helmet that fits the fuller-headed gent. An HJC CL-SP Osiris MC-5 in XXXL. And I have procured one.

Initial impressions are that it fits well, although the snugness afforded by Mr Shoei's padding is a bit lacking. The chin-strap sits across my larynx rather than under my jaw, there's a bit of optical distortion in the visor and the D rings aren't as sorted as a Shoei. It doesn't appear to be any more or less noisy (rather it's differently noisy) and the extra 100g isn't that perceptible. But for the TSS special price (about half that of a Shoei) I reckon it's worth a go.

I shall provide a more fulsome account once a few more km have been spent inside it.

* Because Noddy won't pay the ransom.

Look forward to hearing your review.
Good on HJC for making a helmet that size, I remember all too well trying to fit the "fuller headed" gentlemen like yourself with helmets and being dissapointed at the choices available.

CL-SP Osiris MC-5

Thats quite the handle. If someone asked you what type of helmet it is and you replied "its a HJC CL-SP Osiris MC-5", they would think your taking the piss.

My helmet sounds like a fighter plane...the FS-10

How are you finding the helmet (presumably where you left it). I've got the plain old CL-SP, and really like it. Good periheral vision, minimal misting, and really stable.

Why is your head so big?*

Because Mrs H constantly tells me I am the most fantastic person alive?*










*Yeah, right.
