Re: Helmets & Head shape
Well shoes come in various fittings of narrow, wide extra wide etc. so why should helmets be any different ? Maybe makers should publish their fitting parameters for people to check and maybe make it easier to chose a brand and fitting that suits your head shape.

They won't publish their parameters, they could make different shape shells but complex stock management would probably cost them their profit so doubtful it will ever happen. I couldn't get an XL HJC on my head, but I wear an XS Nolan - the shape makes a drastic difference.

I guess the biggest factor is cost, and as I assume they have to get each size tested for compliance, so the more sizes there are, the more it'll cost. |

Re: Helmets & Head shape
I had exactly the same problem with HJC and tried 2 different models. They were too narrow and like you, the L and XL would not pull down over my head. Yet a size M Scorpion Exo fits perfectly. The inflatable cheek pads are a bonus too.

Re: Helmets & Head shape
I've had mine 5 years and no complaints. It's a comfortable fit. The visor has a few scratches and is starting to lose a little clarity so I need to replace it and get a couple more years life out of the helmet.
