I wouldn't buy a helmet On line without trying it on first. Measuring your head is only going to get you half the story. It depends also on the shape of your head. Try before buying. The size of one brand might not suit your comfort in another.

dont compare to an arai as an arai has some different shapes to fit the most prevelent head shapes buy the arai you will be happier. If I remember right the soumy fits a round head best

Here's a link to the Soumy Helmets, I sugguest you check out the Vega Helmets on this site, they are just as good and cost about $300.00 less.
As long as the helmet is DOT certified it's just as good as all the rest.

There are a few ways to get the correct size. Some are better than others.
1) try it on.
2) Have someone measure your head one inch above your eyebrows and compare it to the chart.
3) Use the sizing chart and compare based on the helmet in the chart.
When you are selecting the size and your are on the fence between two sizes go with the smaller size. The helmet should be tight to prevent head shake at speed. It also prevent it from lifting at speed. The pads will break in over 2-3 weeks and form to your face.

Below is a link to my site and when you call in to order tell Mindy I (Terry) said you get 20% off. That applies to anyone here. Also Size exchanges are free if we assist with sizing.
