So, I just got a Bell BR1 in today. Legit racing helmet, no more bullshit motorcycle crap.

Size XLG. Measured my Nogg'n, 24", and I've worn a dozen HJC, owned a Scorpion and I currently rock a Fox V4 XXL for my bike work.

The V4 is listed as 24 1/8 - 25 3/4 (63cm - 65cm). It's worn in and slightly lose now. I'm more or less stuck, a slightly loose XXL or a overly tight XL.

So with the BR1 coming in at a 61cm -62cm for a XL, I figured "PERFECT". It's on the low side of my XXL Fox and Scorpion.

Jesus Christ. The Bell just plops on my head like it's two sizes to big. It's like wearing a bucket. I checked the packaging, I checked the stickers... its an XLG.

I don't get it.
