He wants to say that there some threads that can be useful for you,
Maybe someone had the same experience... And probably would be easier
you just post it on one existent thread 😄

Well I did search for other threads about this, but nothing really
fitted. So I made my own.

Kit (Mrboogiejuice) has dreads and wears a helmet. I have never heard
him complain, but maybe he just suffers in silence?

Honestly, how many actual unique new topics are there? Topics that
haven't been covered in some way already. If people were to do full
searches and were only able to enter uncharted territory, how many new
threads would actually be added? In case I catch any heat from saying
this, Sock Puppet made me do it!

yes there has been threads on dreads before but guess what, there has
also been many threads on trials unicycles. Sure trials are trials but
there are many aspects of a trials unicycle to discuss. Most of the
other threads on dread locks start off something like this

Dreads are cool!!!
blah blah blah, hey look some pictures then degrade into a argument
over cultural appropriation etc.

But this thread is about the unfortunate fact that dreads are not ideal
if you wish to wear a helmet.

I usually don't wear a helmet but when I do it is a Giro Atlas II Extra
Large helmet. It is the biggest thing I can find without breaking the
bank.

I’ve got dreads myself and if you get a nice big dread tam to put them
in it tends to cushion light head blows quite well (not as well as a
helmet though), the only problem with this is the heat but I think
you’d get that with a helmet anyway so...inconclusive😕

I’m at the point now where I should really start looking into getting a
helmet as I’ve just started learning tricky tricks, hopping stair sets
and doing trials in places where there are a lot of concrete and metal
things to hit my head on.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread so I can work out what headgear
to buy

Just a suggestion. What about the possibility of a hockey helmet? Maybe
they make them in larger sizes than bike helmets?

Thanks Saskatch (hope it's ok to shorten your name like this). I like
it when people can actually see what I was going for in a thread and
appreciate it.

Sock puppet has dreads too!

I'll have a look at other sports style helmets, but I think I'd looka
bit silly wearing something like an American Football helmet whilst
unicycling!

I've not really found it a problem finding helmets to fit but my dreads
are fairly thin and I didn't have a girthy noggin to begin with.

I have an extremely short haircut so I'm not an expert on dreds, but
would tieing them back help? I'd try that.
