I recently purchased an HJC AC-3 hemet which is DOT and Snell approved. It's seems to be a very good helmet and has the air vents on top and it's insides are washable. This helmet seems to me to be really large in diameter. I am assuming this is because it is made to be very safe being Snell approved. Are all Snell approved helmets a little larger in outside diameter?
My wife says I look like a martian in it :-). I guess it's because I am not a very big framed guy with a big helmet. I don't really care about the looks as I passed that a long time ago. I just like the safety and comfort of it.

Also, according to all of the sizing charts I "should be" a Large according to my head measurement, however the XL is the one that fits me. Not sure what's going on there.

Thanks in advance,
Bob



I don't know about the fit and you seem to have fixed that issue with the switch to the Large. I can recommend this helmet. I was wearing one when I went down in June of '06. According to eyewitness accounts (not mine as it just happened to fast) I landed on my head. Walked away without even a scratch or concussion. I did have to replace it and didn't go with another AC 3 only because I went with a full face this time.
