Helmet hunting

Post by sithTASTIC!!! »

Hi guys. Now I'm a big guy with a big head. From what I've heard the 1:1 helmets are smaller and not all that comfortable. I found a vendor that fabricates an over sized fiberglass version of the royal guard bucket. how does it look? Here's a pic from the site. is the design legit?

One more thing. From your point of view how does the Rubies design fit? Any advice would be much obliged.

As LT said, avoid this vendor at all costs. There are many documented reasons if you do a simple google search. The Rubies helmet is fairly large, as are the South American fibreglass helmets.

The main South American dealer people use is FP, and if interested we can PM website details. Other also use CP and are happy, however I'm not sure of any details sorry.
