    I swear I'm destined to never find another comfortable helmet again :mad:

    Last week my Airoh GP500 was delivered and it was totally the wrong internal shape so I sent it back.

    Sighed and bit the bullet and ordered another Arai. A Quantum ST this time.

    Here's the rub. My head actually measures 59cm round which is obviously a large. When I got fitted for my last Arai though the guy said that was too big for me and that I should get a medium. He was right. That fitted like a glove. However this new Quantum's arrived, also in a size medium and it feels huge. I can rock the thing back and forth on my head.

    Has anyone else ever had to go down 2 sizes from their measured head size in order to get a lid to fit??? :(

    I always go to a shop and try different sizes on first, you can always buy off the net then if you prefer? Then know it fits :)
