Does your Helmet leave an impression on your face ?

[He Man]

buying online isnt so bad if you know what you are getting into.

Shark has its own guarentee aside from a retailer. if it doenst fit you, you can return it for a full 100% refund.

So i bought a shark RSI on close out. if i sneezed i would break my front teeth. it was so make the beast with two backsing flat. Revzilla doenst accept returns on close outs but they took the RSI back. So i got credit for it and ended up buying a front tire.

THen i found the SHark RSR2 on super discount at motorcycle close outs, bought it, thing fits GREAT.

So even within the same manufacturer, you can have varying helmet shapes. It would be nice to have a shop that carried helemts to try, but most shops carry very very very few stock of helmets, so your choices are limited.

It seems that every store will carry the Shoei RF1000, Arai Qunatum, and Scorpion EXO400, as well as the low end HJC/KBC stuff.

That's the only time I have the impressions, people think they're "sleeping marks" and I just woke up.

Nice - That works both ways - Ah, No, I was just riding my Monster. Those are "helmet marks"

I can't tell if his helmet leaves an impression - With the hat and the beard and everything.

I have  a fulmer helmet (not recommended) don't know what model.  I get a headache after riding for a few hours and when I take it off all my friends laugh at the big red mark on my forehead!

go see a dermatologist, you can go around hiding it all the time with the helmet.

My Shoei RF-1000 did that for a year.  Now it does not and it moves around WAY too much.  I replaced the cheekpads but I suppose I'm slightly less of a fathead.

all this time i thought i was alone on this. i had the same issue w/ my old rf-1000. i loved the helmet but after a yr. it started feeling more loose. instead of changing the cheekpads i decided to sell it & picked up an arai rx-7 corsair. i had it for 2 yrs now & didn't have the same problem. i wonder if x-11 has the same problem or not? i would love to purchase 1 after reading all the great reviews.

sorry to go off topic but i was wondering if anyone has issues w/ agv titech helmets. i have 2 rossi replica helmets that hurt my ears everytime i put them on. when its on everywhere around my face & head feels snug & comfortable, but there's a lot of pressure on my (average size) ears. even after breaking-in the helmet the pressure still hasn't gone away. i know agv fits very snug compared to other brands, so is this normal?

for reference, i wear size large shoei rf-1000, size medium for arai rx-7 & size large for agv titech.

I was lucky enough to have a shop with a wide variety of helmets, I probably tried on 15 different helmets. In the end I had to change the cheek pads to get the proper fit. It made a huge difference. They were sold in a decent range of sizes, made all the difference for me.
