    Too big OR you like me have just had a haircut where they thinned your hair out soo much that your helmet has more room in it...NOT LOOSE just not as FIRM as I like it!

    Hitchers right - if you can fit a headband as well as all your hair then you need to buy a smaller helmet. Your helmet needs to be a tight fit in order for it to work in an accident - if you shake your head from side to side really quick and you feel it move, then its too big.

    In an accident you helmet needs to absorb the impact - but if there is a gap between your skull and the helmet, your head will hit the inside of the helmet as well as getting the impact from the ground/object whatever.




    Headband issue - SIMPLE - get an old skivvy you no longer want and cut the arms off. Put it over your head and as it starts big and gets smaller, pull it down until it gets tight, the cut it off there.

    Then you get two!!!

    Firstly - yes dear....If you read her post she said it keeps her hair out of her eyes and makes her helmet EXTRA snug NOT I need to wear a headband cos my helmet doesn't fit me.


    Secondly - So to get a hairband (or two) you should ruin a perfectly good article of clothing...all for the sake of a strip of cloth? Don't think so.

    Thirdly - as previously stated you boys have no idea about girls hair accessories. These aren't the very 80's style hard raised headbands this is a tube of rather thin material that just holds your hair off your face.

    BOYS BOYS BOYS - we don't need your help with our hair do's - you ain't the fabulous 5 or the guy from how to look good naked so go do yer own hair!

    How are these skivvies being rooted, or more to the point who is rooting them?

    Sheesh, right under my nose the whole time.

    I thought I knew you......

    Bling received...

    Firstly thanks for the bling but as for the backhanded comment of: Feel sorry for your partner... your one of those women that just CANT be pleased"

    ...

    This related to my comment about not being prepared to cut up an old skivvy to make a hairband...I am not made of money and as a practical lady I wouldn't cut up perfectly fine clothing when I could still get use out of it OR donate it to the Sallies..which I regularly do.

    AND btw - My HUSBAND pleases me regularly! But then he is pretty damn good at what he does!

    Don't hate the player - hate the game!

    Ok, this has all been very interesting but doesnt explain how a headband can escape from underneath a helmet. As I said my skinny little ones (a piece of leather) stays fine but the thick ones escape! It seems like a mystery to me that it can sneek out while I am riding along.

    And for all of you concerned my helmet does fit properly, it was proffessionally fitted and one identical (same style, same size) did manage to save my noggin when I decided to slide down the motorway a while ago.
