Bought a Giro phase online (i know should have tried before i bought it) - rode in it yesterday and my head is totally the wrong shape!!
Can't send it back can i (on-one)?

Is there a market for a second hand worn once giro phase?

Was your head a different shape before you went riding?

Your error, your loss.

would you be happy buying a helmet from a shop only to find out some one else has used it?

You should be able to send it back as long as it's in a saleable condition.
Due to my LBS's not stocking a wide range of helmets I took a gamble on few online and simply sent back the ones that didn't fit.
Had no issue's with the company either.

Send them an e-mail for confirmation beforehand.

It's been worn on a ride so very clearly isn't in saleable condition.

If you'd tried it on and not liked it you could have returned it, but after a ride I don't believe you can use the DSR rights any more- using it like that probably implies that you've accepted it. Maybe one of our legal experts can advise?

(re-saleable condition isn't actually relevant at all, fwiw)

Under DSR you are only allowed to inspect the item.

cruzhekler what make of helmet did you have before as most people know some people have a Bell shaped head and some people have a Giro shaped head and the rest are just some weird shape 😀

bu**er should be quicker posting you've got a Bell shaped head 😆
