Hi, I have a MD/LG(56-59) TLD helmet(pretty old) and I'm gonna buy a new THE helmet
so I was wondering if the 59-60 would fit on me. The TLD fits almost perfect, maybe a tiny bit tight.
Thanks.

you ever thought of measuring your head instead of asking other people how big they think your head is?!?!

With the desire to resolve on ongoing debate, and perhaps to save you from future embarassment: how do you pronounce 'THE,' is it just 'The' or is it 'Tee ache eee'

We don't have them in Israel, so we can't try it on, we are ordering them from abroad.
But it was funny anyway.

ohh, you should measure your head at its biggest circumference, (around your fore-head) and compare it to the size guides given on the helmet, i have a 'the' helmet and i was border medium/large, so i ordered the large and it was too big and ended up sending it back and getting the next size down, so my advice to you is if your borderline with a the sizings, go for the smaller option, as a helmet thats slightly too tight is better then a helmet that is too big and shakes like crazy when you ride with it!

Thanks man.

If it`s any help they both felt the same when I tried them on and I went for the THE helmet over the D2, basically because I got a carbon fibre lid for less than the composite D2. I`m not putting down the D2, I love the lid , but personally I couldn`t justify spending an extra £100 for the D2.

My lid.
