Fit and comfort is a key factor and you really need to try them on to tell. It's like buying shoes online, so you have a 50/50 chance of it being ok if you don't try them on.


I had a Simpson retail store 1-hour away. After trying multiple helmets on, I went with a more expensive helmet than I had planned on. I'm happy with the Simpson Devil Ray Carbon and it fits with my prescription glasses.

I'd also agree, that besides proper certification, fit is king.
And while none of us do 4hr stints at LeMans, comfort is very important.

Before i updated my lid to another Bell Sport Mag a couple of years ago, I did try a Stilo with an integrated comms package and it didn't fit me well at all.

So, try a few, take your time testing them in a store, etc.

I only use G-force racing helmets because I have found they fit me the best
