You should measure your head to determine the correct size (all helmet manufacturers have a chart displaying head size in cm vs helmet size), and remember some helmets are oval shaped and some round shaped. Then try to see which fit best.I tried on two helmets last night - a large Shark size I can barely get into and out of.
I can't remember the other model but it was better. Still tight but I could get used to it.
So far the negotiations with the GF are not going well but I'm not giving up.
Ah man that's exactly the lid I'd really love to have. Fits me b-e-a-utiffully but yeah, too much money.
I'v actually found that helmet prices are not that crazy here; there are just certain brands that are expensive for some reason. You also get much better sales deals in the States.
As an example, you can pick up a Shoei Hornet Navigate for R9900 here. It's $716 in the States = R9430...
Dude the helmet is awesome such a lekker fit and you can take the peak off. I only use the peak when I go adventure riding. The pinlock systems are great and this helmet comes with one. I brought mine before the special came out at Trac Mac so I paid full price. I don't believe in buying a helmet you cannot fit first, hence the reason not really hunting for a cheaper one as I would spend R500 just driving shop to shop.
