Item was purchased by a friend but size doesn't fit. Although the largest available, not suitable for large heads

My wife has been having blackout episodes with no warning. After falling three times and hitting her head on our tike floors, we knew we had to try something until the doctors get this figured out. Of course no one wants to have to wear a padded helmet around but she has taken this in stride. Helmet is very easy to fit to size and slip on and off. Thankfully she has not fallen since wearing this but at least some peace of mind if she does. Seems to be well made and not too hot to wear.

This piece of protective equipment is the best I have encountered to prevent injury to the crown and top of my head when I fall or "take a header" into a desktop or counter top due to my Parkinson's or Narcolepsy. The closed cell foam is thick enough to distribute the energy of impact, even when the point of contact is edged or raised, and it is broad enough that I have not experienced any contact to unprotected skin. The "hat" is light weight and cool enough to wear for long periods - a real drawback to hard-shell designs like bicycle helmets. I have thus far been able to wash away anything which has soiled it. The item comes with two "tie at the bottom" chin straps, which I removed. It's only "blem" is it's goofy appearance. More than once I have neglected to take it off when opening the door to retrieve the mail, to the concerned alarm of my poor mail lady. On the whole, not a war-stopper. I highly recommend this item.

Very well cushioned. Only shortcomings are the chin straps need to be tied manually. Could improve on this by attaching hook/loop or small plastic latches at the end of the straps.
