Hi folks,
As the title suggests, I'm looking for an XL (Long Oval) full-face helmet that doesn't make my head look like an overgrown grapefruit.  I currently wear an XL HJC CL-14.  I'm very pleased with the helmet overall, but it's BIG!

Anyone know what helmet, if any,  meets Snell/Dot certification in a smaller shell size?

Thanks in advance.
Jamie

A helmet needs to be a lot bigger than your head to have an adequate crush zone for the polystyrene.  This is what protects your head.  A helmet is not about fashion.  You're headed in the wrong direction if you let style dictate your helmet choice.

You should look at helmets that have several shell sizes.  The Shoei X-11 has five different shell sizes.
