Default What size is your helmet?

As in the one you put on your head when you ride a motorcycle (dirty minded fools!)

Just bought a new Shoei helmet in Small! My first lid was an AGV Stealth Medium, but after that broke in it was far too loose. Next up was a medium/small AGV Ti-Tech which was pretty good for about a year before getting too loose again. Switching to a brand that didn't do half sizes, I now have a Small and the fit is snug but great!

So it seems I have a girls sized head and that got me wondering what size was everyone else using? Not that it matters of course, right?

I have a Shoei too, XXS. They seem to be the only manufacturer to make a helmet that fits me properly.

Pete also has a Shoei in a small, Luke.

It may just be that we all have 'odd' heads, Luke!

Shoei sizes are all odd 51-53 etc. I believe most other helmet manufacturers use even sizes 56-58 etc.

Well make sure - you don't want any nasty surprises

I've always been a medium - but I bought my old AGV nice and snug so the lining would give... it didn't give an inch and so its always been a little on the tight side. My Roof Boxer V is also a medium, but its a much looser medium than the AGV.
