Sorry if I have put this in the wrong section, but can any one help???

Bit of a funny one, I am looking to get a full face helmet, a Bell one, I live in Gloucestershire and I cannot find any where that I can get to try on a bell for size/fit. Arai's fit lovely but shoei doesn't fit at all. could anyone tell me if I have an Arai head whether or not I will fit a Bell.

Thanks

I'd be a bit cautious about the 'Arai-shaped-head' thing, which is a bit of a myth. Arai lids come in either of two shapes, the 'slim' or long oval (more room for the forehead) and the 'round' oval (broader across the face). Arai call these respectively the L-type shell (e.g. RX7, Viper) and the G-type shell (e.g. Quantum, Chaser). So there's simply no such thing as a single Arai shape.

Can't help I'm afraid re Bell: tbh I wasn't aware they were still around!
