I Like that
Definitely go to a local brick and mortar store and try different sizes on...
I bought my first helmet from a local dealer - thought it was a good fit when I left, but after wearing it for @ 30 miles, I rode right back to the dealer and told them it wasn't a good fit - they let me trade it for a different size... much better fit.
So, even with you trying them on in a store, you may not fully grasp the fitness of the helmet until you get some miles under your belt. Another good reason to get it locally so you can trade it for a different size (just make sure that they will let you do this if necessary before purchasing).
