That was true, but Arai built the Profile specifically for oval fit.
Shoei helmets fit me pretty well but do require some, um adjustment with a drinking glass in the forehead center.
The profile I tried on fit perfectly. Too bad about the price, and I don't think they have a hi-def type shield, which helps me with depth perception/closing speed accuracy.

Ahh yeah, that makes sense then.


Bottom line is best thing to do is try on EVERYTHING, and remember that it has to be snug, almost annoyingly snug at the beginning, and it will break in to perfect. If it fits "Perfect" when you try it on, it is probably going to be too big once it breaks in.
