I can't seem to find a helmet that will fit my dreadhead for skating. I fit an lg/xlg helmet before I had dreads and I can't find a company that makes an xlg or xxlg. I desperately need a helmet so I can start playing rollerderby!
No, because it wouldn't be up to code/standards. I have to have an approved helmet to get insurance to play derby.
do u wear the helmet with hair tied back or flat down try the biggest yu can find then adjust the hair to fit even remove some inner padding if need be to fit the hair? last option would be custom made
Yep, I'm looking into a custom made helmet. I was just hoping that there might be a less expensive, faster option.
there probly is...google dont think anyone else here does rollerderby so google would be much faster then asking us..lol
It's not specifically for rollerderby; any skateboard, snowboard, ski type of helmet will do. I know there's dreadheads here that do those activities, so I was hoping they could help. I have googled, with little luck. Don't think a football helmet would work....
i just googled "dreads and helmets" and looks like ur not the only person with the dilemma. theres a couple of pages of motorcyclists with the problem.
yeah that is a big problem. i had to buy an XL mens adjustable riding helmet. i guess look at snowboard helmets. im sure sizing varies a lot so for a different brand or type of helmet, XL could still fit you.
Unlucky for me, the law is in my way, I drive a Moped and have not been able to drive since starting my dreads two and a half weeks ago, cause my helmet no longer fits. im waiting a week or two before going to get a new one to see if my hair settles down at all but i dont think it will
lol, i did the same thing and they only got bigger. One of the things i didn't think of when getting locks. Up side, it hides my big ears.
