QUOTE(DeFaeco @ Oct 26 2022, 09:53 AM) Good grief. Are you sure about the measurements? Actually my size is 48cm to be exact and that translate to a 4XL. Maybe you have a very round head. Most helmets are oval in shape. My head is roundish at the top so helmets that are more oval/racier will not fit. I can't fit AGV. HJC barely fits. So far Bell and Shoei has the best fit for my head. I would say Bell is the roomiest. Also, try helmets that have 3 or more Shells across the sizes. Otherwise you may have to stick with jet helmets.  I ordered online (HJC i90 5XL) but the customs blocked it (POS Malaysia near the airport)! I opened the box infront of them and fit the helmet which is perfect! Not loose or tight! They didnt let me take the helmet and told me to get a JPJ approval which I did and got denied. So I ended up to return to seller. I found one half face in Shoppee but you know its not that genuine, but what to do? I want a full face and the most important is a safe and reliable helmet. But this ruling that you we have, here in Malaysia is bias for big size head. They should have at least exceptions. If you can recommend a shop or a number to contact to buy a full face helmet then I appreciate it and thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Nov 4 2022, 05:24 PM) Sure not a typo? 48cm? How do you measure it? my bad its a typo. it should be 68cm for 4XL. 58cm is the upper limit of size M. 4XL is certainly and outlier size. Quite a lot of time is a headshape issue Thanks for the letting me know.  |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Nov 4 2022, 05:56 PM) Why jpj denied? Ive been thinking of ordering from revzilla..n which site u ordered from? No E mark I suppose. That's why I got denied. No specific info in the letter. I even asked my colleague to translate it since I don't speak bahasa. Have u tried asking nks in sentul.if they can order for u? They are hjc local distributor I message in HJC FB but they said only 3XL If your helmet got E marking inside and at the back of the helmet there is a slim chance that the customs will let it slide and you can take home your helmet. Or if the customs is in a good mood. If not then you need to submit an email or go JPJ Putrajaya to submit and your helmet will stay with the customs. It takes 21 business days they say but for mine it took 15 days and multiple calls to follow up. Which they sent to a wrong email.  How to contact sentul? EDIT: I bought it in Amazon US   This post has been edited by gimcrack: Nov 4 2022, 06:18 PM |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Nov 4 2022, 07:25 PM) Actually if you ever end up with the i90 again assuming your measurements for the 4xl size and headshape, maybe go for the 4xl instead of the 5xl. New helmets should be tight. A "perfect" fitting helmet may end up loose after a few months of use. Noted. Thanks for the advise. It is quite likely (and I'm guessing here) these larger helmets all share the same shell so only the padding size is different. Get the tightest helmet that you can comfortably wear without hotspots. |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Nov 6 2022, 05:50 PM) i want to order the AFX FX-41DS...havent ordered yet. I had tried to email AFX directly and they dont have the E marking on my size (4XL). theres a few site around but revzilla is the one i think i trust more....just not sure if the helmets sold in the US has E Mark on them  I don't think any of the manufacturers do ECE certification for those sizes.  I just hope to find a full helmet (branded) here in MY. *wishful thinking*   |
