hurricaneoasis 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 I got an RBK 6K a few days ago, I had to order it online so I couldn't try it on. I ordered a Large b/c I've been wearing a medium CCM 1092 and it's way too small, even on the largest setting. From what I could find the sizing charts for the helmets matched up exactly. I got the helmet, and on the smallest setting it doesn't feel completely snug. It definitely feels a lot wider than any other helmet I've tried. I'm wondering if that's just the way the are and I'm used to wearing a helmet too small or if I need to exchange it for a medium... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put it to the smallest setting and it still felt a bit loose. I've been wearing it for about a month and a half and for the past 2-3 weeks it has just gotten perfect and in fact I've been able to loosen the setting. I've kept with getting haircuts so thats not it. Not sure if the padding has expanded a bit due to use/sweat or whatever but it's great now. Just my experience, GL with it.

hurricaneoasis 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 well thanks for your reply, it just seems that to me the helmet is pretty wide, but then I thought I remembered some other posts where people said it was a pretty narrow helmet and they were having trouble with visors being too wide and pulling at the sides... I searched but I couldn't find just what I was looking for. All I can really say is that it seems a lot wider than what I've been used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I can really say is that it seems a lot wider than what I've been used to.It is much more round than NBH helmets, much like the other CCM and Jofa helmets. I found the helmets to be smaller in overall size though. I normally wear a medium in every other brand but I had to gut and modify my 8k to make it work for me.
