I tried on just about every helmet in my size at Iron Pony hoping to find a cheaper helmet that would fit my noggin and be comfortable. I have a long oval headshape and struggle to find a helmit that fits me properly and comfortably. As soon as I put the Arai Signet Q on my head I knew that it was for me. I have no regrets! I love the helmet. I bought it in the flat black and bought the dark smoke pin lock visor to go with it. Originally I wanted a Shoei 1200 but unfortunately it didn't fit my head very well. I think that it is very important to try on helmets before buying to find what fits properly.
