Where to buy helmets in the EU....
Where can I buy helmets in the EU???
I'm looking at either the Gallet or the Alpha.

Ideally I'd like to try them on for fitting purposes and comfort.

Get in touch with Alpha directly - Not done it for a while but they used to have a very good self-measurement system and then they sent you this size closest to yours with various inserts that you could add/remove to fine tune it.

Good luck

Helmet Integrated Services is one and Headset Services is the other here in the UK.

Hmmm...we currently have 3 new Alpha helmets on their second return trip to HIS due to the ANR not working properly.

Perhaps a reason to go Gallet - as used by Eurocopter's test pilots!
