You must have some very special needs.

I stated very clearly that they didn't have any AGV helmets in stock for me to try on, not to mention the model I was looking for.
And to be clear, not only did they not have any AVG helmets IN STOCK, they also told me that they NEVER have AGV helmets in stock.

And to make it 100% crystal clear, I can order one just like they can; WITHOUT the need to go to the showroom to pick it up.

I did not see AVG, and again, they have an entire wall full of helmets.

Do you buy suits off the net sight unseen? Yeah, you probably don't know about that either, ***.
look in the mirror who originally snarked my attempt at helping OP.
you're the ***.

Went from FF in my sport bike days to half when I switched over to HD. Ever since a buddy of mine went into a slide and got banged up, I went back to FF. Yeah, I still have my half for short hops, but anything over 35-40 mph, I go FF. At almost 70, I couldn't give a rats *** if I don't look cool or not. Got 2 Shoei RF1400's. One to match my 2022 RG ST and one in HD colors. Transition visor makes them perfect for all day riding. Yeah, it gets a little sweaty in the summer, but it only takes seconds to cool off. It takes a long time for road rash to heal. Besides, I can run a lower windshield and not eat bugs.

If Shoei fits your head, Arai most likely won't. I bought an Arai Quantum (not cheap) and it sits on the shelf.

It's been mentioned several times already but I'll restress it; it's all about how the helmet fits. There is nothing worse than an ill fitting helmet and in my experience most people choose too large of a size and it all goes downhill from there. If a new full face helmet allows you to chew gum without biting your cheeks, it's too big. If a new helmet slips on and off as easily as a stocking cap, it's too big. There should be a bit of a struggle to get a properly fitting full face helmet on and off.

I have an HJC carbon fiber modular, and I like it. Whatever route you take, make sure the helmet you like is set up for cruiser applications. It seems that the front vent placement is in a different place if you're sitting up vs laying across the tank.

Revzilla has a great return and exchange policy. From what I understand, Revzilla and Cycle Gear are under the same umbrella now. That means that you might be able to return or exchange a Revzilla helmet at Cycle Gear.

Once you figure out your head shape, Revzilla lets you filter per that.
