Sizing helmets online
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 8:56 am
Hi all,
I'm very new to this scooter thing. I bought a Scorpion EXO 400 helmet to start out with and almost immediately wished I'd bought a high-end helmet. I'm seeing a lot of decent-looking Nolan helmets online and I think they would about fit the bill. How does one ensure that the fit is right on helmets they haven't ever actually tried on? I'm told that every company sizes their helmets differently, so though I'm an XXL for Scorpion, maybe I might not be the same size for everyone.
Also, I'm presently in the US but in a year or so I hope to be in another country- not sure where yet- and I'd like to buy a bike/scooter there if job and environment permit. What are the odds that if I buy a quality helmet it will be legal to wear in any country I go to? I have my eye on Japan/Taiwan/Korea.
