im new to cycling and its time to buy my first helmet
I have a tiny head its really small and just was wondering if anybody had some good tips on decent brands and helmets that are quite small sized
thanks for your help
MET are pretty good in my experience - you may end up going for one of the kids/youth range (such as the Crackerjack, which looks decent without having any childish graphics - the peak-less equivalent for roadies seems to be the Gamer model) if you have a small bonce, but will save yourself a few quid in the process. I have the opposite problem, fortunately the appropriately named Estro suits extra-large heads like mine!

I recommend Louis Garneau, usually available @ Evans, best fit I've found and even better in the sale. Also LAS size small is a good fit.

If you do get an helmet my advice is to wear it correctly! one inch above your eyebrows
and the strap adjusted so you can get two fingers tightly between your chin and the strap
and NEVER wear the helmet on the back of your head! I've lost count how many cyclists I spot
are wearing them incorrectly. Most LBS should set up the helmet correctly for you.

seeing as your head is the size of a pea i wouldn't shell out without trying one on first
