Why is this so difficult ???

You need to find the brand that fits and not change brands...they are all different by brand !

Very true statement! I am a bit of a cone head guy, and depending on brand I have everything from Small half helmets to large modular. Got to try them on for sure.

I have had very similar trouble finding a helmet that is comfortable to wear. I can't tell you how many felt good, until I wore them an hour and then wound up giving them away.

I have found that Shoei fits me best, however, within Shoei the shapes can vary also. I am tempted to try the lid picker service too.

There is a page on webbikeworld which shows the various shapes by manufacturer. You can find the helmet that fits you and then look for a similar shape profile. Here's the link:

They don't sell helmets, they just review. Great sight for info on lots of motorcycle related stuff.

webbikeworld is a great place to research almost any motorcycle gear first. Once you have determined your individual head shape and size, it narrows the playing field...then I have found Revzilla's free return policy to be very helpful.

Helmets are like seats, everybody will require something different. For me I have a Bell "Pitboss" half helmet that I have owned for years and absolutely love the fit and comfort of it. Now full face helmets are a complete nightmare, I can never find one that don't put pressure on my forehead crown and cause pain and splitting headaches after an hour or so. I have tried almost all brands with Nolan being the worst and Shoei being real good but they all do it to varying degrees so I keep going back to my trusty Bell.

I was just on a Bell web sight and some time next year they will have a electronic machine that will measure your head for a perfect
fit custom helmet the cost of the helmet will be lowered the service adds $350 dollars to the cost of the helmet 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Shoei Neotech I have a big head with nothing in it but this helmet fits great and is the best helmet I have ever worn. Al

I too have a hard time finding a helmet that fits. It seems like a helmet that the dealer says fits me is always too tight and has certain pressure points that give me headaches.
I usually buy a XXL , but after a while it is too roomy, and slides around a lot. So I bought a XL, which I fought was too tight. So I put a soccer ball in it and inflated it and left it there for about a week or two. Now it fits like a glove. No pressure points, No headaches.

Here is a question I have pondered for about 10 years now. Why do only full face helmets get the cool graphics?

[No Handle Sam]

The last few full face helmets that I've purchased have come from CycleGear. They usually have a good selection, but the bigger deal is that they have a great return policy. (one of the few vendors that I know of who offer such a thing) Usually once you walk out of the store with a helmet it's yours no matter what. These guys have (at least I assume they still do this?) a 30 day return policy. Buy it, try it… if you don't like it bring it back and try another one. They won't refund your money, but I always thought it was a great way to get one that works for you.
