Quantam F is a pretty old helmet. Personally, I would stay away. The Quantam 2 is the newer version. There is a date of manufacture on the chin strap (not the strap where the D loops are). If it's more than 5 years old, I would stay away from it.

When you say you normally wear a Medium, a Medium what? Arai? Shoei? All helmets and brands are not sized equally.

Gunny! Randy has some sound advice. I would also make SURE that helmet fits you well. My old, real old, Shoei used to give me headaches as it put pressure on my forehead. I would try a helmet at a store before buying it.

I have an older Quantum F and love it, however, it needs replacing now. Arai runs in the size they say. I tried on a Quantum II and didn't care for it, the padding was not as comfortable. I like my old Quantum F. I may have to switch shell shapes but the Quantum fits me perfect.

Good luck in your quest.
