Is it just me or is helmet shopping insanely difficult? I know that sounds like a stupid statement to make, but there seems to be no standardizing of the sizes between brands. I want to buy a new helmet and jacket before next season, so my fiance can inherit my current Joe Rocket helmet. The issue is that with how much helmets actually cost, I don't dare order one online for fear of it not fitting properly, and I have no real resource local to me for actually trying on helmets from different manufacturers. Like I said, I currently wear a size medium Joe Rocket, I have a co-worker who wears a size medium Arai, you would think I would be able to slip it on and try the fitment out with no issues. However the Arai looks like it's an extra small and belongs on a 5-year old, my head came nowhere NEAR to fitting through the opening.
What's a good guideline for helmet shopping online in terms of really nailing down the correct size? I would just buy a brand new Joe Rocket helmet or an HJC since they're made by the same company, but I hate all the current Joe Rocket designs and wanted to possibly try out an Icon or even a Shoei Marquez model.
Here's a shot of my current helmet, I love the design, but I need a helmet for my fiance anyways so a new one is in the cards.
