snug helmet...

should a new helmet be a little snug?

my head is 58.7 cm, i bought a large arai which is 59-60, it fits nicely but is a little snug....is this proper?

i didnt buy from a shop but yah... thx...

From what the people at Cycle World told me. The helmet should barely move when you grab it and move it side to side while keeping your head stationary.
When I first got my Shark RSR, it was very tight, especially in the cheak areas, but after a couple thousand kilmometers it fits perfectly...

So yeah helmets should fit snug, and you should buckle up also to just the point before it feels uncomfortable on your throat.

this is why i love my cage.....head room! :D

jokes!

i wear mine very snug. when you move it side to side it should move your cheeks with it, not move AROUND your head... if that makes sense...

yea... i get it, i think....

perfect, pretty sure i got the right fit for me...would have been pissed to, i like my Arai Quantum II :D


hahahha, didnt realize p155ed was a bad word

how about when you grab the mouth peice and push upwards, should it move up exposing your chin?

i think if your have your chinstrap done up properly then no, other wise what good would it do in an accident!

but then again, i guess i dont really know

chinstrap is tight

...its a shoei rf1000

yeah, should be snug... remember it'll loosen up after awhile as the pads/foam give in.

my arai was really tight 5 years ago, now it's too loose.
time to switch to a younger helmet
