Let us know how it fits when it comes in + take picture. I have been looking at the Rockhard online, but I,ve tried the Fulmer V2 & Bell 500 at a couple local HD dealers. My head measures 22 3/8 which is a medium in Bells size chart and I wear a medium in HJC, KBC & ZR1, but the Bell 500 "Med" felt very tight, the Fulmer V2 "Med" felt snug, but not as tight as the Bell. I need to try on a large in both an see how they feel.

I have the Fulmer 3/4 and wear it quite a bit. Just remember, any helmet will compact over time as you wear it. Mine certainly does not fit just as it did when new.
