Very good advice. You MUST try it on in the store and wear it for a while to see if you have any pressure points. You really need to find a shop that has a competent person who knows how to fit you properly. More often than not unfortunately, there isn’t anyone there who knows much more than you do about how they should fit.
Go for fit first. I’ve been lucky to own some pretty expensive helmets; Arai’s, Shoei’s and the like. One of THE best fitting helmets I’ve ever owned was an HJC helmet that cost like $150 (still not hyper cheap) It felt great, worked well and was rated just like every high end helmet out there.
And it looked cool, but that was just a bonus…
