Does anyone know where I could purchase a replacement Catlike Helmet (hopefully the new Whisper)? I have tried on just about every brand and model of helmet manufactured and none of them fit my head other than the Catlike. Whether its a Giro, Bell, Specialized, Limar, LAS or any other brand, the typically shaped helmet is just not matched to my odd shaped/sized head. After several hours of riding with other helmets, I typically end up feeling like I have just had a prefrontal lobtomy. Catlike was available here in the US for a short period and I purchased one and loved it. Unfortunately, I destroyed it in a recent crash. I'd like to replace it but with no distributor in the country and the Canadian distributor not even willing to tell me what shops in our friendly neighbor to the north are going to be carrying the product, I'm at a loss. Does anyone know of European shops who have it available? Yes, I know its not yet approved for use in the US but it saved my life after getting t-boned and that's good enough for me. We also all know full well that the only reason its not available in the US is for testing and liability reasons.

Try Chevy's Pro Bike Shop in Puerto Rico; they are the P.R. distributor for Catlike and have no problem shipping to the U.S. Contact Jose Lajara at [email hidden] I just ordered one from him and he was always quick to respond to e-mails and happy to answer my questions about the helmet.

[font=Tms Rmn]Bell and Limar make helmets specifically for larger heads. You really have to go to LBS and ask for larger helmets. Most well stocked shops will have XL's but will probably be in back room. (where all the big headed people are).

Available on both sides of the pond, the Bell (Triton) is more oval shaped and does not pinch the forehead. The visor is easily removed if needed.

Limar makes a helmet that's called "Big One" you will have to navigate to - Products - Road - and you will see "Big One" there.
