Helmets - what fits similar to a Uvex?
Both my Uvex are in the recall group. They are not offering an equivalent replacement helmet so I'd like to get another brand.
Anyone gone from a Uvex to something else and it worked out? Giro has never fit me. Not even close.

I looked a bit and couldn't find the actual model names. I'm interested in finding a helmet that fits my hatchet head.

The model names of the recalled helmets? They are all indicated by a number molded into the foam on the inside under one of the pads.

Yeah I saw that. Does the model number actually correspond to a name? I'm not familiar with UVEX helmets and I'll be hunting for a better fitting helmet soon and would like to avoid the recalled models. If a model has a name folks rarely use the model number in an add.

Wow.
Thanks for the heads-up on that recall. I might get a new lid out of it... VF |

XB032 is the FP01 (I think) XB038 is the Ultrasonic Essentially it's the entire top end road and mountain line. They don't have any road helmets available as replacements.

Merde! I just noticed this.
Anyone go through the recall and get a refund or a new helmet? |

weird, I went from uvex to giro and found the fit to be similar as in they both fit fine and were confortable.

Still looking for a good fitting replacement...

They sent me a check for 110. Took about 2 weeks. They didnt have a replacement or I would have gone for that. Apparently they are still working on a new USA version of their road helmets. http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2015/...y-UVEX-Sports/ |

LAS, maybe. I need a long oval which I find common to older Bell. My LAS seems like a really tough helmet with a polycarbonate insert on top, great ventilation and adjustment. But some days it does seem tight front to back. I tried a POC on and believe it would work, just waiting to run across a new MIPS version in white.

Since they didn't have a decent road helmet in the replacement bunch, I never sent mine in. I'm still riding them both. Obviously no issues so far. I'll be trying on a Kask Vertigo when the time comes. The new Giro fits better than the other Giro's I've tried in the past. That's an option. GScot, will check out the LAS if I can find one.
