So quick question...do manufacturers make different sized helmet shells per size, or do they use one shell and stuff more padding in for the smaller heads?
I ordered the Bell Arrow and the inside fits fine, but the helmet itself looks giant. It looks like I'm wearing an XXL but it's a small.

i just picked up a bell revolver a week ago. had it out for one ride so far. comfy as hell. no wind noise at all. looks cool but is a little on the big side. i think maybe its just cuz i am so used to wearing smaller set ups.

I love my Shoei rf-1100. Its comfortable, light, stays cool in the summer, and very quiet. I don't understand why people don't wear helmets, they keep the bugs and rain from hitting your face and kills the wind noise.

Higher end ($400+) helmet models use ~5 shell sizes across the size range. This is done to reduce weight and bulk.
