I searched and found that Specialized helmets are more oval shaped. Are there other brands for an eliptical head that any of you could suggest? I got a Giro from Nashbar today and It doesn't fit like the last one I had before they switched to only 3 sizes. Now they're more round.:(

Anyone? I hope I'm not the only one with out a round head. ;)

I'd check into Limar helmets. I definitely do not have a round head and the Limar fits very well.

I agree with SteveE. I had a Giro Eclipse that I just couldn't get comfortable in. I ended up trading it in for a Limar. Big difference! I can feel the helmet making contact with my head all the way around as opposed to just the front and back with the Giro...
