Helmet size comparison
I'm having a really difficult time finding the right size/shape for my noggin. I'd have to drive about an hour to get to a Cycle Gear to try on helmets, so asking here.
My first helmet was an HJC i10 in XL. It felt too tight, but everyone says they wear-in after a while so to be patient. Unfortunately, didn't get better over time. I did try to replace the cheek pads with thinner ones and that helped a little, but not enough.
I then ordered an AGV K1 (I believe) in XXL and that felt even tighter than the HJC in XL.
I've now been using an HJC i10 in XXL for about a year (so I could recycle my pinlock insert from my previous helmet) and it still gives me a hot spot on my forehead even after shorter rides.
It appears that I might have a long oval head and the only helmets I can find that fit that shape are Arai and Icon.
I wouldn't mind spending more on Arai, but I've seen posts about how they are sized a bit smaller than some other brands and all I can find are XXL's.
I do not like the style of the Icon helmets at all. They look way too futuristic and spacey to me.
Anyone got any experience switching to Arai from HJC with their relative sizing differences? Anyone know any other brands of helmets that fit long oval enormous heads like mine?
