Quote: The round vs oval issue is why I cant wear a Shoei and Sonya cant wear and Arai. They both have different shapes, and are not comfortable on the wrong head. Mark
Aye, however the Shoei X-Eleven is specifically designed for an oval shape. Shocking, I know, but the Shoei rep swore that it was true before I bought it. Four years after I can verify that it's true.
