Best helmet for a oval shaped head

[Caps06 1]

Looking for a new helmet and I have an oval shaped head, would prefer the helmet look good, be protective as well as be comfortable.  Price range isn't a concern.

Your best bet is to go to the store and try them on and find the one that fits you best (and looks the best too- which is secondary).

That's what I think I'm gonna do, thanks!

This could be a good resource before you drive all over the place looking.

They tell you whether each helmet is a round or oval fit.

Except that I am not sure if this is accurate, at least for CCM Resistance ("round") and Fitlite ("Oval"). I am pretty sure that Resistance is intermediate oval, and Fitlite is for round heads. I cannot really comment on the others as I am intermediate oval head, and comfortable in a Resistance (but not in Fitlite, which I found to be round).

they said the reakt was round but I found it to fit my head almost perfectly when I tried it on in store today, thanks though.

No worries. I've got kind of a round head and I found the FitLite is a little tight on the sides (not by a lot though)

 

Glad you found something that works!
