Re helmet fit, there are a lot of helmets on the market now with dial
adjustment systems, some flexible ones so that head shape is less of an
issue. I think the manufacturers and retailers like this because it means
the helmet model can be made and stocked in fewer sizes. I still prefer a
low tech, close fitting helmet, but this requires the helmet be manufactured
in many sizes. When I bought my favorite schooling helmet (no longer
manufactured), the salesperson checked the fit on me then took it into the
back to go on a machine that reshaped it slightly.

Re helmet shopping, see http://www.seinet.org/CPL/astm1163_04a.htm for a list
of all equestrian riding helmet models certified by SEI. The list includes
links to product websites, where known; if you need help finding others,
contact Prue Welsh (her contact info at top of the list).

I have had great success buying hard-to-fit gear online. I'd find a dealer
who will send a selection, with the understanding that you will return
everything that doesn't fit, in original condition.

Stay safe,
