[QUOTE=Maimas;6426438]Me personally... I wouldnt order online only for the fact I want something I know is going to fit properly and not have to worry about the hassle of returning the item.
You can get 2 identical items and they will feel different.
I suggest finding a local store that sells what you are looking for and try them on and buy the one the fits the best... This is you noggin youre protecting.

Welcome from New Mexico.

Welcome from Bristol, England.

As others have stated, I would never buy a helmet that I havent physically tried on to ensure it fits right. There are certain brands I've tried on where it dosent matter which size I tried it simply didnt fit right.

Go to a local shop, find one that fits, and buy it. Support your local dealers. That being said, HJCs size chart has always been accurate for me, I own a few of them. If you order online, go somewhere with a generous return/exchange policy. Welcome from Music City.
