This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Re the question about long distance fitting of helmets....I recommend dealing with the people who sell the helmet shades (I posted the url a few days ago). I ordered helmets...and they e-mailed me to make sure I was getting the right size. I bet they would talk with you, by phone or e-mail, about helmet fit. They were REALLY nice about my order.
The Dakota has a back part of the harness that you pull down as you put the helmet on, then push up to snug the helmet to your head (or vise versa..cannot remember which). It makes a BIG difference in fit.
