 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok first off, first post woo!!! 
Secondly, I'm going to Tigne on friday to share a chalet with a group of people from Hampshire, and I am led to believe one from Cambridge but that's beside the point, and I think I'm going to need a helmet. The problem is I've got a huge head and the last time I checked I couldn't find one that fitted. Should I risk going bare top or does anyone know of anywhere in Hampshire that I could get a large helmet on short notice?
Much obliged

Dark Monkey Knight, welome to hugeheads 
I'm sure if you have manged without a lid so far you'll be just fine. However I'm sure there will be many shops in Tignes that will be able to fulfull your need if you want a crash hat look for size XL.

Another snowHead based in hampshire who has cranial disfigurements like the elephant man managed to find a lid. She bought a standard one and took it to a bootfitter to have the shell pushed out in one or two places. She might be able to tell you where she got here, but probably won't see this thread as she only reads the apres forum.

Dark Monkey Knight, Welcome to snowHeads
Having lived in Wiltshire near to the Hampshire border for many years I can fully understand your concern about sharing a chalet with Hampshire people without wearing a helmet, there are good reasons that they are known as Hampshire Hogs but I don't believe a helmet, no matter how large will keep you safe.

Unfortunately titled? I read the whole post with the wrong idea in mind. Says something about my mind, I dare say.  Or was it indeed a wind-up?

I wondered that. (My mind is beyond redemption.  )

No it wasn't a wind up though I do see what you mean. though I'm wondering how that sort of topic would get into the ski equipment section. On second thoughts I do not want to know.
Thanks for your help. You know how it is when you think you've got plenty of time to do something but the you look at the calendar and discover you're going skiing at the end of that week!
well excited though

You know it makes sense.

Dark Monkey Knight, have a great time! Oh, and welcome to the nuthouse.

Dark Monkey Knight, are you coming skiing with me?
If you are you may know that I have had similar problems but have found that this year the helmet-sizing seems to have changed. My first helmet was a XXXL Leedom but this year I have been able to fit into an XL Giro - but if you are my son (I have my suspicions...) then the wind-up has failed!

If that's Nick then I guess I may be going with you
How on Earth did you find an XXXL helmet in Hampshire???
So have the sizes grown or has your head shrunk, because if they've grown its been a couple of years since I last tried looking for a helmet so do you think there's any chance that there's a readily available size that could fit me?

THIS HAS to be an Aprils Fools thread surely??

Mouth, really not sure. Have a strong suspicion that it is my 17yr old's idea of a wind-up, and the name is the sort of name I might expect from him.

Fine. Yes I am NickL's son. I was planning to reveal this fact to him on the minibus on the way to France on Friday...after he had asked everyone if they were Dark Monkey Knight, which would have just about made my day.
April Fools anyway. I know for a fact that part of him feel for it. 
If anyone's interested I don't actually have a ridiculously huge head, fitting into a medium quite nicely, although I'm sure your efforts to answer my question will one day be useful to a big-headed Hampshirean, as they aren't really a rare breed. So a big thank you for just being willing to help me.
