here is a puzzle for you....

what do you do when every helmet you try on is TOOOO BIIGG!!

i have tried.. scorpion, hjc, icon, shark, zr1 and bell.. the side to side fits its the up and down ( front to back ) that is to big. i have been lookin at xs and xxs. is there an extra padding support or something i could use to make something fit.

I have a Shoei modular xs pearl white that has never been used. :)

Want the front to back to fit? Wear a sweat band high on your forehead. I've had to do that back when a fit wasn't possible or needed a Lil more snugness. Helped with hot weather too.

Your head is likely lacking roundness. Try an Arai Profile, wither Small or XS, is likely good for your head shape.

lol... i'm rt between xs and s. but, i usually get xs cuz the cheek pads get loose eventually so it's a tighter fit.

I have a tiny head on an average size man (5-10, 175 lbs)....my hat size is likely just below a 7! I wear a SM or XS helmet depending on the brand/style. In some pictures my head just looks like a thumb (in abstract of course).:):)

my head measures 19-1/4 at the tightest. the xs fits nicely from left to right but again its the up and down that doesnt fit. i did talk ask a few more ?'s at the 3 delearships out here and they said that i can add some extra pading in between the original pading and the shell and not comprimise the safety of the helmet. it looks like it maybe my only option since i dont have a shoei or a arai dealer close.
