Go to a shop and get one fitted.
Needs to be snug enough that is doesn't wobble around if you hold it and shake your head.
Then buy online.

Does it have to be the same brand to get the right size as they only seem to sell BELL around here?

I bet local bike shops love you!

Im as tight a person as your likely to find, I barter on everything and never pay asking price.

Yet for the £2 or so discount youd get from ordering it online, Id rather just hand it over to the shop which has just put up with me trying on all their helmets.

+1 to that, if you go somewhere decent like condor the advice is worth the extra few quid I reckon, especially with something like a helmet. I ordered one online from Evans once and it was all wrong so I ended up having to send it back and just go to a shop. not sure how careful delivery depot people are with things either, I wouldn't want one that had been chucked about a bit, just in case.

Not to be all c+ about it but this morning a helmet came in pretty handy. It's the second time i've been over a bonnet and i never seem to land the right way up. New helmet time again. Booo!

I wear an earlier version of these, about the least fugly of the Giro helmets. A compromise between the pisspot and roadie/xc lid, well-vented. There's also the Giro Hex

I have a massive bonce, and the Giro is about the only one that has fitted comfortably

Other than the helmet, hope you are OK.

Yeah, bruised and bikes a bit bent but nothing too bad. Last time I went snap so this time it's a bonus not to. Thanks!
