Default AGV: Yes, size does matter!

So, ever since I got my AGV Ti-Tech helmet I've tried it on once (for fitting) and I was somewhat satisfied--compared to an ARAI or SHOEI, it comes nowhere close in quality, finish or fitment.

Anyhow, I can't get over the fact how huge the helmet is compared to the two mentioned above. I mean, it's so huge I feel like this:



I contact a couple dealers and both tell me that there are two outer/inner shell dimensions:
Quote:
One Shell size runs up to 57cm and the larger shell size goes from 58cm (ML) up.
The difference is in the cheek pads/lining. I guess this is good for those who have seen a helmet on Ebay or whatever but the size listing was not the correct size. That's the plus side...I guess.

The downside other than how difficult it is to fully close the visor and the other imperfections (plural), the helmet is FREAKIN' HUGE!!!

Anyone else notice this?

What size do you wear on an AGV?

Also, do you own an ARAI Corsair/RX-7 or Shoei X-11? If so, put them side by side and you'll know what I'm talking about.
