'Could well have been fake' not 'was definitely fake', but 'could be fake' pretty much describes everything on Taobao. 2cm on each side? I'm taking about being able to shove a 400 page softback book under each cheek when wearing the helmet? In terms of helmet parameters it's a country mile, so much so that is an extreme internal shape. So far out that I worry there is some manufacturing flaw or it is fake. Now it could be that because many Asians have deformed craniums from parental deformation during infancy that extreme shape will in fact fit many Chinese extremely well, it's just not within any shape I've ever come across before and I've owned around 10 helmets and tried on hundreds.

At the end of the day there is no point buying helmets online, imagine going to a shop and being asked to pay 60-100 yuan per helmet before you found one that fitted. Unfortunately that's what you are doing when buying online. The thing that sucks is there aren't really any local helmet shops with anything better than I already have in my area.
