As usual buying from fc moto company is best experience and highly recommended!!!
Regarding the helmet it remind me old problem I had with ski boots, when you try them at the shop, they feel perfect and after a day skiing you start feeling pains here and there (since then about 20 years I always buy Strolz ski boots, regarding the helmet I do believe I need to give it further break-in and then decide.
Any how I had 2 Shoei Nxr helmets which were less tight than this helmet but maybe it is more of a racing helmet than a touring helmet.
And one of the reasons for not continuing with the Shoei was that I felt it wasn't grabbing enough my head, so I guess it supposed to be me very tight on the cheeks and head.
After one ride of about 10 hours (I like long rides)
pros
1. Visor opener is in the middle. Shoei is only at the left side?!
2. No movement of the helmet. feel secure.
3. Easy operation of the ventilation buttons.
4. Wider side view.
cons
1. Extremely tight helmet Hope it will a bit improve.
2. Visor open possibilities are either fully open or fully close. Nothing in between.
I am starting to believe that the shape of your head dictates which brand to choose that fit your type of head shape.
Both the Shoei and the Hjc are sitting way too high and far from my eyebrow.
