Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I just realised when I pull it down it goes over my eyebrows, that mean it's too big? All the other "tests" are fine: Can't put any fingers in the forehead cushioning; can't pull it off backwards; when I move it my skin moves; cheek pads are tight enough that if I bite down my teeth run across/catch my gums https://vimeo.com/154029788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGD217 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks like a little too much movement. But I'm no expert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'd agree... when mine was new it had hardly any movement at all, a year later it has softened but I still don't think I have that much wiggle room. I'd defo go see what someone who knows what they're talking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullscreenaging Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks too big for you. Even with thicker cheek pads in it's still not going to fit correctly. Either go for a size smaller in that lid or try a different brand. Your head just may not fit AGV but will fit another brand better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuktuk Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Do you know Lou Matiera by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He wasn't impressed when I rang and said I've potentially got a size too big and some of the lads have recommended I come back FR a refitting. "Mate.. What I don't know about helmets" etc. Oops.... Do you know Lou Matiera by any chance? Who? Nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 +1 for Custom Lids Newcastle. Once I got there and he seen how big the small was he was more than happy to order a XS (and tried an XS on of a different colour, same brand) and apologetic. Said I done the right thing.
