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

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

  • 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!?

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
