Oval head options?
Okay, my head's some kind of super-oval, and unfortunately I'm hating on Arai these days. When my Arai Profile needs replacing, what are my options?
From searching around, it seems like Shark might make some oval lids. Anyone know of other good ones out there? |

Sorry, no input for you. However, when I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of good ol Bill Clinton. That had to be what he called getting head in the Oval Office.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the NR750.

I lucked up. Bout the only thing about me that is normal is the shape of my head. I have no trouble finding a lid to fit.
Duc Diva on the other hand.....

I also have an extreme "long oval" head, and my Profile (I use it only for racing) is the most comfortable helmet I've ever had. However, certain models of AGV helmet fit me very well. Models that I have confirmed to fit are the Daystar, V-Flyer, and V-Flyer II. These are outdated models now, but they are still available online (if you aren't picky about colors, you can often find a cheap one in the "outlet" section of denniskirk.com) and it's encouraging for AGV's other models. Sadly, I don't think there is an AGV dealer anywhere the Austin area, so it would likely have to be bought online, which will be a crapshoot. For whatever help it may be if you want to try, I wear a medium Arai Profile, and the medium AGV helmets fit, so at least the mediums seem to correspond between brands. I once ran across a website for some budget brand or other that claimed their lids were fitted for the "European Head," and the accompanying diagrams seemed to imply that they meant "oval" heads by that. However, I've long since lost the website and forgotten the name of the helmet, and have been unable to find it again. I'm always looking for alternatives, so let me know if you stumble onto something, okay? -S |
