Like the look of both the Rockhard and Bell Custom 500, but nervous ordering online for sizing....head measures 23 inches (using the Bell sizing measuremnts), right between a med and a large! Afraid the Med will be neverending headache if too tight and a large will float :-) Any suggestions from those who have either?

Right now I am wobbling between the Rockhard and the Licks, though you have to wait for the Licks, because they are on backorder. Seem to be popular.

I tried on a Bell 500 and it was a Great Gazoo look on me.

I tried the Bell 500 on at the dealer and didn't like it at all. As far as the fit of the Rockhard, I measured 23 and a hair and went with the large. It feels better everytime I put it on and you can't beat the comfort of the lining.

My measurement was 23.25"...went with the Rockhard XL. No issues with the fit.

I've been trying to order a Med Rockhard in Matte Black but everyone is sold out. Was thinking of a Biltwell Novelty but not sure how the one size fits most works.

Does anyone make something like this in carbon fiber?
Thanks!
Are you lookin for DOT or novelty?

I have a carbon fiber 3/4 made by skull crush. Helmet is light and comfortable and sits low on the head.

The pics ain't worth SPIT if there is no HEAD in it. That's the problem with ordering online too: you still get a mushroom. Leatherup has great looking lids...my ol' lady ordered the half shell and got zapped there too.

Gazoo....LOL! Ain't that the truth!
