#4[quote="Grendel"Your best bet is to find some place to fit one, then order. Grendel would never buy an untested helmet.[/quote]
Me neither! Try it in any store, and then order it. Helmet´s shapes are different, even between models of the same brand!

#5I have 5 Arai RX7 Corsairs size medium that fit perfect. I read an review where this reviewer said he wore an Arai RX7 Corsair in medium and found the Shark to be a little snug but still fit ok.
He must have had a round type head because I ordered the medium and had to return it for a large.
I don't think the quality is as good as the Arai but I bought the orange Duhamel one to match the SDR. The visor can be tightened to be adjustable up and down. The visor is very thick and the chrome mirror is very dark.
The Shark does become more comfortable with wear.

#8All my helmets are L and always have been, from Simpsons to arai Gigas and RX7`s to Dainese and now to my fave of all time my RSR2.
Used to love the designs on Shoei but just never fit my head proply!!!
With regard to wind noise and the naked bike, with correctly fitted ear plugs the noise level is more than exceptable and better than any of my Arais have been. It never leaks in the rain and it never mists during winter/colder days either.
The only time i have a problem is when i have the KTM tank bag fitted when i am out working, at motorway speeds (75-90mph) the wind tends to deflect of the front and straight up under the helmet and causes lift, although this happens with all my helmels!!!
The build quality and finish of the shark i cannot fault and they are the only manufacturer i no of that package the helmet with protective stickers on the areas of the helmet that will be rubbing on the inside of the box (inside the helmet bag). these stickers dont just peel off either, you have to use abit of heat on them like proper decals.
My only gripes with shark are 1. the tinted/dark visors are bloody expensive and, 2. im having trouble finding replacement cheek pads (ive lost weight recently and my face always thins out around my cheeks). Apart from those 2 this is my favourite ever helmet!

#9Thanks all for the feedback.
I've to collect the most possible information.
The dealers over here are all shit dealers.
They just have what sells more, and low end helmets (less than 200€).
You can find Shoei, Arai and in a few spots AGV, Airoh, Suomy and Vemar...
All the other brands are very hard to find.
Off Road, you have a better offer...
Of course they all get what you want.. but if you order, you must keep it, if it fits or not... that sucks!
Cheers,
J.
