@@Dani-ir3pz As a rep for Helmet House, Bell puts Arai to shame. The DLX series is known to fit strange but they also offer S/M and M/L sizes as well as up to 4x. You get MIPS with bell and theyre both similar in price. Aria is expensive but only because they are "hand made" and they have more than one shell shape option. but more than 60% of the helmet is still made in a factory. Bell has magnetic cheek pads so no more snapping pads in. All the DLX's come with a self tinting pro shields (if ur dealer isnt a d!ck.) Aria is still nice but there's better helmets that are the same price but safer, quieter, and have more options *cough RF-1400 cough*

He forgot to mention that they break in. When you try it on in the store it might feel like a vice grip but a few months later it will fit comfortably.

@@Damiantjuh I recommend a helmet all the time although that makes me hypocrite.

Keep in mind it should be a little tight at the start, as the pads will get softer after a couple of uses. And after you wash it. If you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size

Also need to consider that helmets come in different head shapes. The only helmet I've had that actually fit correctly is an Arai Signet-X, which has the longest-oval head shape of any production helmet. I had Shoeis before that, and they always created a pressure point across my forehead.

Wish they made long oval AGVs. I'm stuck with 2 or 3 brands because of my stupid head shape. Shoei makes the Signet but I really don't care for the look of Signet's. All the really good helmets are round and intermediate oval that lean closer to round.

The padding also wears down over the first few months so a tight helmet will start to get comfortable, do an actual fit test and don't rely on measurements as I've found manufacturers printing them incorrectly on the helmet and manual.

What the industry needs is custom fit helmets, made to fit your specific head. Each head is a unique shape like a finger print. There are heat moldable footbeds for all sorts of sports related footwear (example: ski/snowboard boots). Why not custom fit helmet liners right in the store, like they do for boots in a ski shop?

I couldn't fit any helmet because of the shape of my big ass head. Wide cheekbones and slanted forehead meaning something that fit horizontally was to big vertically. Eventually I had settled with an airoh st 501 in the L size. There's a little bit wiggle room but it fits snugly nonetheless.
