The best advice I can give is to have her try them on or be SURE you know the return policy before you buy! I have been going nutz with my wife - Bought her an incredible full face HD helmet to the tune of 275 bucks and she hated it due to size - I begged the dealer and they took it back and I got the right size - now after one wearing it once she hates this one also and I am stuck with it! - I told her we are going to have her try them on until she gets it right - lucky for me this one is nice and heavy so I will only have to hit her with it once to get my point across!

(In the event my wife's future attorney reads this post I am only kidding about smacking her with the helmet)

I have used ARAI helmets with J&M intergrated headsets before and really liked them. They were 3/4 helmets and the fit was comfortable. Problem is that the smallest they had was x small. I have a Ultra on order and was going to use the Harley headsets and install them in Shoei helments but when they came in it was just too loose and the ARAI were the same size according to the website. Arai were high but well made.
