Race hood and bike helmet!?

[BcBaghjul]

Hi velonauts :=)

I'm a very happy owner of a Carbon Quest which I really enjoy riding. This time a year I like to use my Sinner race hood but then I can't wear my bike helmet (can't turn my head to the sides). I normally use my helmet every time when riding any of my bicycles why I would prefer not riding the Quest without helmet.

Are there a wider race hoods where it's possible to turn your head or more slim helmet?
- if not I might consider making my own sometime..

Looking forward to learn from your experiences.

(Note: head size 58cm and uses a Casco SPEED airo - picture is borrow from the internet)

Yes, look at the "Sahnehaube" (DF hood for the Quest) CLICK. It is much wider than the Sinner race hood. I have both, Sinner hood at a Mango and a DF with DF hood. I have no problems to turn the head with helmet under the DF hood.

@Guzzi: Thanks for your fast reply. Where is it possible to buy this race hood? (sorry for my newbie question but couldn't find it)

Note that the version for the Quest is different from that for the DF.

But not the wide and of course you have to ask for the Quest hood.

I got my "Sahnehaube" from velomobilcenter.dk
I can use my giro air attack under it but i touch the sides a bit when i turn me head.
You are wellcome to try it on i live in Fredericia so it is nearby.

@Miras thanks for the pictures and invitation. I would like to drop by some day and see the hood - I'll send you a PM when I can find some time for a visit..
