Looking at getting a new full face helmet and just wondering what others with a similar profile head have found successful fitment with? There are exactly no performance shops in my area that I know of who carry SA helmets. If there is one helmet that fits the long and narrow profile better than others, then I can seek them out in my business travels.

A good idea is to always try on the helmet you intend to trust you head with. Fire suits and shoes are also good to try on before buying. The helmet will have to fit snug but should not hurt if left on for a while.
I used to use a rubber inflated kid's ball and put it inside the helmet and then inflate it so the foam would be compressed some and it made the helmet feel better. My issue was the temple pieces of my glasses would be pushed against my face. The foam would start out loose but slowly come back over a weekend of racing. |
