El Fuerte

[HedleyLamarr]

I'm a little unsure on the sizing...I wear a medium in my Hustler and it fits great, and Lowbrow lists it like this: Medium - 22 3/8" - 22 3/4"

but for the El Fuerte, it says: Medium - 21 1/2" - 22"

my girlfriend picked up an El Fuerte in small, which fits more of the medium description, and I can't hardly get it on my head

maybe if I forgot a few things I learned in school it will fit...

Who has one?

I got mine today and am not surprised at the quality, Biltwell continues to put out a quality product.

Especially for a DOT helmet, the EF is well-fitting, sits relatively low, and is very comfortable. The chin strap and button keeper are great, too.

Way to go, fellas.

This is the first new helmet I've purchased and if the quality, fit, and form of this line is in any way indicative of their upcoming Gringo... then billdozer shall receive a few more chunks from my paycheck. ( College student discount maybe? Eh? Eh?)

So, what are the differences between these and the hustlers?

Less-bulbous. Lighter weight.

How's the fit... true... loose... tight?
They're out of mediums so I was thinking I might try a small.

Thanks in advance.

Fitment is on the large side. ie: if you are on the borderline, go with the smaller size.

So... I'm a 22 incher. Do you think a small would work or is that pushing it.

Thanks!

Mr. Crack,

Post a Pic of you wearing the Helmet. Would love 2 see how low this thing sits. If it's not to much trouble to ask.

Been trying to get a Fulmer those apparently sit super low on your dome.

[baravettski]

I just got an El Fuerte too, had some novelties and a Fulmer V2. EF is lower and more comfy than than the Fulmer. I have XL in both, and the Biltwell is a smidge on the larger size but I wouldn't go down to L.

go with S it will fit. i am 22.5" and could probably fit a S. I have a M now. these are the best fitting/ looking DOT lids out there hands down. i deal with all the major brands on a daily basis and i wear El Fuerte!!!

[MenaceKustoms]

How do I order a XXL? The have the sizing for it, and that's what I am, but in the drop down menu, they only list up to XL. I really dig the EF.

[calicruiser]

I believe they are all sold out of size M and XXL in the matte black.

[MenaceKustoms]

I was looking at gloss black, but I didn't see Xxl on any of them.

Tired a friends on last night and it is more low profile than my Hustler for sure. Looks good too.

[CRACK]

I'll try to get a picture up tonight.

For reference, I am a 22" and the Large is perfect. Snug but not tight enough to cause discomfort.

[GeeRock]

My wife got the flat red one and it's so sick. Basically the same size as my novelty(smidge higher) but smaller than the other DOTs she looked at. She got a small and loves it. She wore a friend's Lick's NOV DOT and the Lick's clearly sits way higher on her head. She said the el fuerte is way more comfortable too.

Nothing but great reviews from her. One more helmet ticket and I'm getting one as well.

Great job Biltwell.

[mrcoffee]

Cool...I'd still like to see a side-by-side with a Licks for comparison.

[OnryAndMean]

for those asking for pictures

[Beefdrippings]

No Large in the ad though.

[MenaceKustoms]

Or XXL.
