My shoei is a medium, but its got fairly loose over a year period...I think i'll try a small next time, although some new cheek pads are in the post so hope they work :S

Erm I was under the impression different manufacturers defined 'small' , 'medium', 'larg' etc. differently. I'm a 56cm IIRC - Is that a medium on your scale?

I'd guess most people will be a medium, is the reason it's called a medium because it's what the manufactures think is the most common size?

Doesn't really matter - just curious to see ballpark

large for me with my AGV Stealth and Airoh flip. Also large for my Caberg but my original FM was a medium but very tight. The large FM felt a bit loose.

Its more a manufactures head, i had a AGV k series small which got loose in less than a year + i fell off so i tried on some different AGV's and another K series but in XS but they were still loose, all shoies and none of them fitted XS and Small were too tight at the top of the lid and then medium was too big at the top of the lid, plonked on an Arai Condor in XS and it fitted great as do all of the XS Arais i have also tried

went to the bike show in 2007 after using an XL sized helmet for 9 months(can't remember their name but it had an integral flip down sun visor thingy), visited the Arai stand and they measured me up as a Large...

Different brands have different sizes I think. But you want to measure your head before buying a lid...

prolly would have made sense, the lady in the bike shop (where I bought the original oversized lid) more or less said "if it feels comfy then it's probably the right size". Think she was just covering for the main shop fella while he was out the back playing with himself or something... I was new to biking and totally clueless so stupidly went along with it

XS.......and no its not because theres not much in there

Although, the exact same helmet it replaced was a small. It all goes on the inserts I think.
