Scorpion Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 For any of you guys who have an AGV, sespecially a K4... a quick question. I bought a new on elast week, in medium, and i usually have small lids, felt fine nice and tight in the shop. Riding to work yesterday, and then home again, felt SO tight on my heaed, gave me a headache both times, and the cheek pads feel like, only very slightly, they are pushing my cheeks up like a hamster. Did you find your moulded quickly, or do i need a large?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearOn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I had same problem with my AGV S4 Stealth, I tried different sized cheek pads and not much difference, I sold it in the end on fleabay......to some lad in Brazil, apparently they very sort after there, he even paid huge postage cost for it, now back with my trusty caberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 bugger. I might try and get some smaller cheek pads, instead of making me a hamster. Ill see if it loosens over time... should od, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I had a lid that was too tight across the forehead......almost always got a headache when wearing it.......got another lid in the end.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhJay Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm same as Tango, I started with a Box which felt OK but first time I went for a long ride out I noticed after about an hour and a quarter I got the most evil pressing headache across my forehead. It was slightly too short front to back and pressed painfully after a while. Had never been a problem during 1 hour lessons but very shortly after going over an hour....I went to the shop and told them what had happened and when I'd picked another helmet they said "wear it while watching tele for a couple of hours this evening and if it hurts come back tomorrow and we'll change it."Felt like a right ****ing plum sat on the sofa in my lid all evening but at least I now know I can wear it for 2½ hours If yours is hurting then worth saying the same?

Stu Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 haha, the arai was even tighter! maybe so but it depends where the pressure is arai's are always tight on the cheek pads and a little pressure on the forehead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Gotta say that my Bell Daytona is tight....but not so tight to cause a headache......it's actually really comfortable even after 3-4hours riding.......first lid I've found that's this comfortable.....

Colin the Bear Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Try wearing a balaclava for a while to stretch it out or let someone with a big head break it in for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
