I have been hunting for a new helmet lately and was wondering if anyone here has experience with the Briko Twinner....I cant find a shop anywhere here that stocks them and Ive considered buying one online since they are being marked down.

Problem: I have a somewhat narrow head......not sure how well this helmet would fit. I tried a Giro Pneumo recently and it just didnt feel right, and gave maximum 'mushroom' effect which Im trying to avoid if possible :D

What do you Briko owners think of your Twinner and if you are somewhat narrow headed, hows the fit? Hesitant about ordering because I cant try one on first, but I really like the look of it.

Great helmet. Good adjustability. I give it a thumbs up.

thanks...

think I have decided on the Pneumo though...I had previously only been able to try a size L....which fit but was really a size bigger than I needed, and left too much free space. I tried an M yesterday and it just fits me...but it fits perfectly very snug and comfy on its largest setting...I will go with Pneumo size M in carbon....

and what do I get? :p

Seriously though I bought mine at www.beyondbikes.com

They are on sale for 129.00 there....... not a bad deal considering the carbon color is tough to find on sale.
