My new 6d came in today and I’m just wondering if it’s to tight, I measured my head before ordering and I felt like the large was the best option for me but when it got here is seemed a little tight. It’s been forever since I’ve bought a new helmet so I could just not be use to it. How do you tell if it’s to tight?
The Shop
I just ordered a Bell, had to bump up a size from my previous AGV.
Pretty sure they know their product fitment better than anyone and might be able to offer you a solution.
Here's their number: (714) 772-2121
Just one source, but says what I said in slightly more thorough terms.
Nod your head vigorously like you’re trying to let a stripper know you like what she’s doing.
Do this a coupl’a times & see how it feels.
As mentioned, different brands fit differently.
I have a background in medicine from my previous career, and now part of what I do is custom fitting of helmets for our helicopter flight crew members... I'll spend an hour or more on some guys getting their helmets fitting just right, it's important.
There have been lots of times I've been in a shop, looking at helmets, and I'll see some dad fitting his kid for a helmet, basically throws the helmet on, kid says it fits and away they go, with the helmet flopping all around the kids head. I've helped people get a properly fitted helmet, and I don't even work at the place, I just know it's important.
My Shoei cups my head from the top of my forehead, all the way around to the base of the occipital bone and it does not move an inch when I shake my head or nod up and down, without the strap done up. Thats a properly fitted helmet.
