Helmet Help

Hi All,

 

I'm in the process of researching helmets and I need some advice.

 

I currently wear a 7 1/2in new era baseball hat and I was wondering which helmet would be ideal for my head size? I'm also 5'8, 170 lbs if that helps.

 

I've read the size comparison thread and I'm still unclear about sizing. I've also read that KS is the largest followed by CB, and MLC. I know about KS and MLC but what about CB? CB isn't listed under that vendors list. I was looking at SC but I'm reading they run small.

 

Thanks for any help

CB is the largest followed by KS & the SC being the smallest. I own a CB, KS & DP & have listed in in order from largest to smallest. I dont own an SC but have seen one in person & it looks very small. I would reccomend it for small men or women.

Here is a pic of my 3 helmets. From left to right, DP, KS CB

I've got my bucket from SC and it is an MLC v.3. I'm 5'10", not sure what baseball hat size I am (average sized head?), but my MLC is actually a big large on me. Had to add extra padding on the inside, but on the inside there is just enough room between my nose and the snout. Fitting a fan in there might not work as my face would probably be hitting it. Padding is easy to fix, but if your face is squished, you've got a problem.
