i can fit into an arai chaser small but it seems to push my cheeks up a bit, is this normal ?

[thehelmetcenter]

Yes - you want a good snug fit around the cheeks to keep the wind out, and the helmet stable at speed.

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful and full of lots of great informational sizing tips.

[Bristecom]

I measured 59 which should be a large but every large I tried on felt very tight and uncomfortable like a headache. Some of which I couldn't even get on my head! The XLs are much more comfortable but I fear have too much play. Is there no size for me!?

[thehelmetcenter]

There are size and shape differences between all brands, and even between models within same brands. You will probably need to try on a series of helmets to know which is the best. Also there are some options within a helmet to fine tune it to your head. Most brands have interchangable cheek pads and top liners where you can mix and match to get the right combo for you. Best is to call us, and we can explain this much better than we can here.

i wish i saw this before I bought my helmet. I have medium when I actually where a small! I'm buying a small today. Great video.

[Ucster]

Thanks for the information.  Very good video.

I have just one other idea that I think works well. Measure your head first and see if that size feels right if it feals tight ask if you can take the cheek pads out then put helmet back on so you can get the feel aroud the top of your head first as with the cheek pads in it can get a bit confusing. When you get the right fit around the top of your head then try the cheek pads back in the helmet if they are to tight then get next size down if they are to loose get the next size up.

[thehelmetcenter]

That is a also good recommendation if the cheekpads are removeable in the helmet you are trying on. Ask the shop that you are tryin it on at if it is ok to remove them. Often times people pay too much attention to how tight the cheek pads are, and forget to think about how the crown of the helmet feels. Thanks for your input.

I went into a shop and tried a few different sizes on and was wearing them around for a bit and the salesman said I can't do that. So I said ok, I'll take my business some where else.

[thehelmetcenter]

JayzBeerz - thats not very good service. We HIGHLY encourage people to wear a helmet for 5-10 minutes so you can to see how it fits. Putting it on for a few moments won't give you an accurate idea of how a helmet fits over a long period. Too bad you don't live in Phoenix as we would make sure you have a good fit.
