[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1247287, member: 20946"] Suggestions no doubt will abound, but if you're anything like me, I'd say that one thing is more important than anything we could say here. [B]Ya gotta try it on.[/B] Funny thing about helmets. Even the least little pressure rubbing against your glasses or your ear or the top of your forehead, etc, will become a huge irritation after an hour in the saddle. Ride with ear plugs or ear buds for music? Better bring them with you. How they fit under that helmet is important.
