I think helmets are like shoes. Gotta try them on before you buy.

I will not buy a helmet without trying it on unless I’m replacing one that I know the size and model fits me like my Shoei

Any helmet I've had has fogged, so a flip up visor is critical. Those silicone pinlock slabs are a PITA, I don't know anyone that uses those. I just crack the visor open a click or two when it's hot or humid out, esp. when stopped. Yes, I have a Shoei Neotec II, top of the line.
