Helmet for oval head, size 63

Hi, I know this hase been discussed a couple of times before! but i wonder if you know any brands that has extremely oval riding helmets? i am a male, and can use size 63, but there is a big gap on each side of the head, it is like my head lenght is 63 and my with is a size 59(or smaller).

Thank you so much!

Have you explored Charles Owen helmets yet? I have an oval shaped head, too, and the COs have been my helmet of choice for the last three helmets because they can accommodate that oval shape.

Kask!

@Hestejente Welcome!!!

Give that your head is quite large I would come talk to some reps.

We have reps for OneK, Charles Owen, Champion, Tipperary, and Uvex in our MIPS group on Facebook.

I would also recommend a MIPS equipped helmet over those that do not have this additional safety system.

You can find more info on facebook.com /groups/ Mipshelmets (Without the spaces). I have to remove them or else it makes a generic link to the main page.

Good luck shopping!!!

I’m going to take this new ā€˜helmet help’ thread as an opportunity to ask a longstanding question: does anyone know of a website, social post, or other that shows side-by-side comparisons of helmets, on or off a model’s head?

A visual? A photo? Please don’t say TikTok, lol.

I know there are variables, whether round or oval head or hat, etc. and you don’t really know what a helmet will look or fit like until you try it on but I’m curious (logistically it’s not easy for me to get to a tack shop and compare all the models I’d like to see).

@HipNo34 Though the answer I have is technically a ā€œyesā€ I would qualify that the helmets shown are all the ones equipped with MIPS.

We did a live video before Christmas and showed all the helmets and myself or Kimberly Chick from Fair Hill Saddlery, wore all the models.

The video is pinned to the featured menu of the MIPS FB group.

Here’s the exact link. ( The COTH forum programming will make it look like a generic fb.com link but it does go straight to the video)

So glad it helps you!!!

We are chipping away at trying to make all the MIPS questions easier to find answers but for sure it was fun to be the ā€œmodelā€ and try on ALL the cool helmets.
