Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Hello people.Please excuse my ignorance. I went to the honda shop today to buy a helmet and am stuck btween the sizes. Ive actually ordered the XS one but am concerned its too small now.When trying on the small it was an ok fit, I could move my head a very small bit and the padding was touching the cheeks but not tight on them.When trying on the extra small it is a snug fit on the head and tight on the cheeks to the point it makes me pout!!!The man in the store said they do loosen up a bit.Any thoughts?Thanks Quote
Korben Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Sounds like you went for the right one. My helmet did that to me when I first bought it... It's now contoured to my head and it great... Tight lids are the safest!! Quote
Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 From your description, and without actually seeing you try it on.. It sounds like you made the correct choice. Yes they loosen up a bit. But if it is too small it will be uncomfortable.. Check out the guides in the clothing and accesories section m8Edit: That Korben beat me to it AGAIN!!! Quote
Guest philgale Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 both of them sounds right to me, mine was really tight when i first got it and now it feels a bit big coz the padding has given way a bitgood way of testing it yourself, put on the lid and grab hold of it, if your head doesnt move (even a little bit) its too bit, if your head goes with it whichever way you move the lid its ok (obviously not being too small tho) Quote
Colin the Bear Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Try a different brands. Different manufacturers have slightly different fittings. AGV and Vemar fit my dome best. Take some one with you who has experience and try lots on. Some sales staff are notoriously commission driven and will give your inexperience an expensive fit up. Quote
