Thanks gob,ive tried them on and find them to be a bit tight in the jaw/chin area.maybe my melon is a bit to big.the bloke in the shop sized me as a L but i felt more comfie in the XL.

Matt (my mate) raves about his. I wish I had bought one as opposed to my One Industries Kombat.

Rememebr that with any helmet they will ‘bed in’ after a bit of use and feel less tight. My helemt has bed in quite a lot and is now loose on my head

Yeah what Moto said.

The XL felt better on me in the shop but I trusted the size chart even though it was tight through the jaw. It has now bedded in and fits like a glove, for your head:huh:

Go the large and wear it around the house and driving to work until it beds in. Trust me, nobody looks at you funnyB)

Do you know about the whole AS sticker/compliance issue with helmets bought in the US?

Do you Moto I have two US purchased helmets and have had some problems when racing because of the Australian compliance issues, the law states if its DOT approved it is ok but that hasn’t always worked for me. BTW DOT exceeds the AS compliance so it shouldn’t be an issue but can be go figure

KTMRAT would be the best person here on the site to answer as he is a scrutineer

I read that you had purchased the helmet overseas but didnt think you raced so didnt think it was worth raining on your excitement of a new helmet..

So enjoy

Rat can you clear up the DOT V AS issue

The only time you will have an issue with the standards of the helmets manufacturing compliance is when trying to get the helmet through scrutineer at race day, the DOT is acceptable by the current GCR’s (General Competition Rules) as per Motorcycling Australia , they are the governing body of the racing of Motorbikes, there is actually a list of acceptable compliance’s and their logos, there should also be an Australian standard tag sewn into the inside lining if it came through the importer to Australia, but as in your case where you imported it yourself the DOT will be accepted as it is on the list of approved helmets standards, but all this is just for your interest as you dont intend to hand it to a scrutineer do you?

I also forgot to mention that my oldest wears a V3 and my youngest a V2, in my opinion the fox range of helmets are good value for money:)
