I seem to find that most helmets aren't deep enough from front to back, so my chin is usually too close to the chinbar, and my nose is pushed up against the visor.

Did you fall on your head?

I have a problem finding helmet which are long enough to cover my chin completely. Yeah I know, I've literally got a long face

Errrrrrm....



maybe.....

but the roof boxer is cr*p and bloody un comfy

Fair enough - I only know of one bloke that's got one, and he's happy with his... although he's clearly got no taste - he's even got a KTM.

Not at all, it's my beer gut that seemingly knows no boundaries.


Though I really must check to see if there's a page 2 on a thread before replying, in case my dodgy quips have already been used.



By the way - are you finding the helmets tend to be too small generally, or in any particular direction.

The flip front helmets are all worse than the fixed front helmets, as the latch mechanism is nearly always in front of the chin.


My Shoei XR1000 is only an L, yet an XL of the Shoei Synchrotech flip front is too small for me!

Maybe the Roof Boxer type helmets might be worth a look if you're particularly keen to have a flip up lid - I think they fasten at the sides.

I'm afraid these helmets are generally too small!! When I tried on the Arai, I nearly sh*t meself, as I applied a touch of downward force to get it on (determination is a strong emotion ) and then thought I was going to have the bloody thing thing become a part of me - I sruggled to get it off!!

I actually don't like the idea of a flip-front lid, it was more a case of trying to find something to fit - didn't work anyway!!

Oh well, still staying +'ve for next week - the XXXL HAS to fit............

Do you get the urge to shout 'nice to see you, to see you, nice' at people?

No, cos anytime I went below 40mph I had to hold my breath to stop the visor misting up.

I've had visors that mist badly and the ability to hold your breath was an advantage in the winter. I learnt to risk the fogging when the tunnel vision and dizzyness began.
