Hey all. Got a helmet question for everyone.
I am a Brand New rider. I only have about 520 miles on my bike so far.
I was fitted for a previous helmet (SS1000) and was told 2xl was good by one local dealer. However, while riding I found that that helmet moved around way too much. That helmet got damaged in my mishap at about 72 miles.
I then went elsewhere and found an Icon Airframe. Was told Icon 2XL was too small (was kinda tight). They ordered the 3xl for me. I am now using this helmet and for the most part it feels really good. It is nice and comfortable when I put it on. However, that only lasts for about 45 minutes to maybe an hour. After about an hour, I REALLY begin to feel pressure on my right temple and I am anxiously waiting to get it off with a developing headache. When I finally get it off, I have the helmet "stamp" on my forhead. Being I only have about 430-450 miles on the helmet, is this something that will go away being the helmet maybe isnt "broken in" yet? Or do I need to go shopping for yet another helmet?
As I mentioned it feels good for the first 45-60 minutes. I cant quite go into a store and sit with a helmet on that long!! Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
