i still have my trusty HJC IS-17 i bought years ago.

Just change the cheekpads and the pinlock. Luckily nowdays u can find the part easily at shopee. last time i wanted to buy no where selling it except for amazon or ebay which the price.... haih....

was thinking of getting a plain matte black shoei x3 spirit for my long distance ride.

Anyone knows any shops in Malaysia that does fitting and has big sized helmets. Buying online is almost impossible.

KL, Ipoh and Penang, but I think only Shoei has PFS, that's with official Shoei rep once a while

Arai has peel-off cheekpads
Some brands can order intermediate liner, depending on helmet models
Not sure about other brands - AGV, Suomy, Shark, Scorpion etc
Some repair service also can assist fitting, let you add padding

What brand you looking to get?
What size?
Headshape?
Any existing experience with helmets?

5XL round head and poor experience with helmets (aka cap ayam helmet)

head size 80+ cm?

you'll have to call and order then

Back when I was in JB, i saw bike world (bike seven) in Desa Tebrau advertising periodical fitting session at their outlet there.

Naw dude, premium full face have tight opening/quiet ones too.

62 - 63 cm oval shaped and most of the full faces just sit on my head like a crown. I saw a 5xl helmet full face on amazon but its 1000 and half of that is delivery fee so I ll save it for a last resort. Plus the pendemic aint helpin either with all the cross state lockdowns. Haih wear my cap ayam dulu. Thank you for all the suggestions I ll take note of them.

That's an XL or 2XL.
5XL is 69cm.

you should not expect the your head to slide into a FF helmet without effort. depending on the fit, some will require you to pull the helmet padding apart and pull downwards from the forehead towards the neck

some helmet has 'moveable' cheek pads to help putting on the helmet

Ah I see. I ll go pay another visit to my local shop to give it a try. Thanks for the tips!

Any user of Shark D skawl 2 ? Planning to get this instead of HJC C70

The cheek pad a bit stiff .. 10k Km ride with the helmet still hard the cheek pad, pressuring my jaw .. and sore in the long run. but the top skull shape mold is good better than LS2 range of helment which giving pressure on the top of ears.

the metal strap buckle rust prematurely, still can use but rusty..

Changed to HJC I-90 heavier but quieter

I measured my head around 57cm (which is M)
But when I go to helmet shop, M size seems too small
Now I'm using L (HJC CS-15)

Seems this is my first time buying a full-face helmet, I'm a bit struggle and feel a bit uncomfortable at my cheek.
And i feel that my FOV a bit restricted (before this just using normal helmet on my kapcai)

well one thing u can do is change the cheekpad. shopee got the cheekpad. find the one that is less thick from yours.

usually the cheekpad will push ur cheek a bit but i think its normal. giving it the tightness without gripping ur forehead and make u dizzy.

Small or tight?

New helmet should be a bit tight/snug. As long you don't get pressure points. If the shop allow you to test wear the helmet, request to wear it looked 5 to 10 minutes. Feel it
Any pressure points?

When you buy helmet, it should be tight. Once you start wearing it, it will mould to your face shape nicely. It should be snug. Not loose.

FOV ... You will get used to it.

HJC is generally narrow, worst case tight on the sides and loose in the front.

Another reference from ages ago. As long as it fits comfortable, and don't buy helmets without testing.
CS-15 is HJC very old design, tried and true. Visor is widely available compared to newer ones sold at higher price.

Just bought HJC C70 , my headsize same with yours 57cm and can't fit into M size as well. End up choosing L size as it was fitting though the cheek pads are pressing on my cheeks a bit more than my previous KHI fullface.

Finally...
thanks for feedback...
now i know it is pressing more on my cheeks compare to other helmet

Guys, I'm looking for a second helmet for daily use. Right now I'm still using trusty old arc discovery bought back at 15 years ago and doing great but got wear and tear already. Right now I'm eyeing for kyt nfj because I like Petronas livery, hjc fg jet and shoei j-cruise 2. How's kyt compare to hjc helmet? And what about hjc? Does it good? I'm familiar with shoei but I wish I don't need spend rm2k for helmet.
