New biker, new helmet! AGV K3

[MtotheJ]

Hey there,

I am a new biker and managed to get a good deal on an AGV K3 at the MCN London show, about £30 off. I got a size small and it seems to fit perfectly, squeezes my cheeks a bit and is tight on my forehead and does't come off when I try and pull it from back to forward with the strap on. However, it just seems to LOOK too big. Im quite small, about 5ft 7inches and a reasonable build. I don't know if this is because of the shape of the helmet or it's just that I'm not used to wearing a helmet but it looks a bit awkward.

I know I'm not going to get a normal answer as i realise it is a bit of a stupid question . Did anyone else feel this way when they started riding? Or have I just got a strange helmet?

Thanks

Don't worry about it mate. Once you start hanging around with other bikers you will see that you look perfectly normal..

Plus I bet you had it on without any other gear like a bike jacket... Always makes it look bigger.

My friend got his first helmet the other day and was like "My head looks massive in it!"

But I bet you actually look perfectly normal, just your use to seeing you head with no helmet on.. lol

Ive just been reading some stuff on the internet. Apparently AGV do only one shell size in this series. Maybe thats why! Oh well, i spose it's there to save me as opposed to look good.
