Any body else wishing THE would make a website(or make one that can be located) so we can get better details on their helmets.
My head is a 53.34cm.
XS fits 53-54cm
Small fits 54-56cm
I'm pretty sure I'll just bump up to a small as it's the smallest size BTI stocks. I'd like to learn a bit more about the construction and see some more detailed pictures of the beautiful helmets.
chainreactioncycles.com has them the cheapest btw. if you buy over $230 shipping is free to here in the US. so if you think you need to pick up some other parts...its the way to go.
:madman:
I KNEW there was a website for them. I kept searching for Toby Hendersen Enterprise, THE helmets and so on and got nothing. I didn't think to search THE Industries.
I used to go to Pinkbike and use their links section, but the Links button seems to have disappeared off the Pinkbike page today.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys. I suppose shopping for head protection at 2am after breaking 2 helmets just proves to be a failure for me.
actually if you dig a little in to the 2008 helmets, there's sizing there. theres no diff between the 08 and 09 helmets besides graphics. so size will be the same.
need to work on your research skills man things arent always laid out right there in front of you. they should be. but almost always not.
EDIT: i take it back...it WAS right in front of you:

BTI is cheaper for me. Buying a helmet at retail, from another country and having to spend $300 to get it here free is alot more expensive. I work in a shop and we can get them. We just don't stock them and haven't had any experience with them.

i figured as much. it was more of suggestion to guys here who dont get BTI discounts.
i only suggested CRC if you happen to be buying other parts as well. CRC has A LOT of parts that are cheaper than in the US (ie anything Shimano). so if you happen to need those parts...you come out on top.

You're right, CRC has great deals even for us shop guys. I know I've seen some big stuff below cost on there. The Leatt brace is available through them and something like $100 less than US retail and qualifies for free shipping too.
Helmets are made from molds, changing molds is expensive so hemlet designs tend not to change every year more like every three years. colors, graphics change year to year not the helmet itself very often.
