Shoei fit some people, arai fit others, AGV, HJC, Caberg, Schuberth... may all have different fits.
Shark fits me, Arai doesn't.

A good fit in a 'worse' brand beats a badly fitting shoei/arai any day
I am wearing a small shoei, but my head measures like a little more than 58.5cm which is between the medium and large sizes. Shoei's shape seems fine since I feel even pressure around my head (albeit its now a little to much and my face is so close to the chin bar I'm almost always kissing it lol).I got it when I had little hair, now its grown quite a bit.

I know HJC's definitely don't fit me puts a crap ton of pressure on my forehead so it must be a really round shaped helmet. Scorpions fit pretty good might try those out as well.

I'll be going to shop next weekend, going to try the bell star, a larger shoei, and possibly AGV or Scorpion. It'll be my little birthday present to myself haha
